Can't wait to play with this, although in the clip he mentions 6000 degrees as the temperature of the flame, I found this great video that is a copper wire groupies dream. "Basic Copper Smithing and Flame Painting" is available through a number of different venues. I located it first on Total Vid and the reviews give it high marks for brazing but low marks for flame painting, something I really wanted to get ideas about. There is a short clip on the site to give you an idea of quality too.
This next site won't teach you how to smith but it is sure pretty to look at. Coppersmithing by Sian
And finally for today," Art of Coppersmithing:A Practical Treatise on Working Sheet Copper into All Forms" in paper back by John Fuller on Amazon.com.
Basic Copper Smithing can also be found on Amazon for purchase.Now, my next goal is to find lessons on Flame Painting. I can just imagine wide copper cuffs that look like that first picture.
