Copper Spoon: Forging Technique

For our final project we forged a copper spoon out of this 3mm thick piece of copper. After I was thoroughly exhausted from finishing the second copper bowl, I took one look at this thick piece of copper and decided to leave it for the start of the next class. The instructor estimated that using a jeweller's hand saw and size 8 blades it should take us *only* 45 minutes to cut out the initial shape of the spoon. At that point I called it a night.

3mm thick piece of copper - ugh!
