Copper Question!
le0n:
Here's my newest copper percussion tool.
Not sure if it will work, but it feels like it has enough weight to work just fine.
The solid copper sphere is attached with fer-l-tite. We'll see if the glue has good enough shock resistance.
I cupped the end of the dowel with my lathe.
Dakota Kid:
Did that ball pop off yet?
If it held, I have a new found respect for fer-l-tite. You may need to tap out the bottom and use a double pointed screw and put one end into the ball and the other into the handle. Wrap the end of the handle where the screw is with sinew or synthetic braid string soaked in glue. I'd imagine that would keep it in place.
le0n:
^^ yep :laugh:
it never even saw rock. i was testing it in the palm of my hand.
it definitely needs a stem. i'll sweat a copper rod into it.
mullet:
Drill a hole through the center and drive a copper nail into the wood with JB Weld.
