Copper beating

Today we were promised rain again, so I stayed off the roof and worked on some copper corner pieces for my project as well as pondering how to attach some windows. The copper sheet is only 0.3 mm thick, so I made some template pieces out of plywood to beat the copper around. I hold the template flat onto the copper cut roughly to shape with the appropriate part overhanging the edge of the bench and knock the copper up and over. That gives it a more solid look than just folding back the edges. I turn it over and give the surface a bit of a beating as well to add some texture.
