Copper tinder box

[Captaincrash]

Finally got around to making myself something out of copper, a tinder box up-cycled from 3" copper drain pipe.

Now those would sell really well if you became a maker! Brilliant work

I like it, very nice.

 

[Clouston98]

That is extremely good!

Beautiful work, really first class.
Love to see a tutorial on your next copper work project ..hint, hint.

Pete.

That's really really nice. Being hand made makes it much more tactile and a pleasure to use.

In the true spirit of a tinder box/pouch/firelighting.

I would purchase one but I think the price of the hours of labour woulkd be prohibitive

Very, very nice. Did you also make the hinge? If so, can you show a bit more detail please?

 

[Captaincrash]

The hinge was formed into the two top pieces by simply rolling material over the hinge pin and cutting away the material for the overlap.

How did you put the dents in it?ball pein hammer.........

Wow thats a superb bit of work there! How did you make the lip on the inside of the lid? And are the sheets joined by solder or is there a better alternative? And that hinge is also great - seriously nice that

Yep, just a small ball pein does it!

The lip is just some copper wire I brazed onto the lid, I use copper phosphorus brazing rod and mapp gas to join everything.
