Air Chasing Copper

Earlier this year I embarked on a new adventure and learnt about Air Chasing, a technique of forging copper using hammers, daps and a vice.

Looks good, I tried it last year and had an epic fail - what gauge pipe did you use?

Hi Divya, thanks :-)
For this project I used .7 mm (21g) sheet copper. I have done some air-chasing on pipes too, but not too detailed. I tend to recycle copper pipes so the gauge can vary depending on what I find, but mostly 18g I think,
