Copper and Brass work

A New Gramophone
I made this to retrain myself how to work with relatively soft metals (Copper and Brass) and how to rivet, silver solder and acid etch again along with basic metal forming. I also used the techniques involved as a reference whilst i was training a friend to become a jeweler. The gramophone itself will go to my grandma as a gift.  You know I've just realized that this doesn't have a stylus... Bugger.

 The Horn was made 4 strips of copper: annealed, bent round, and silver soldered together.

These then had 6 hole drilled in (2 on top, 4 on the bottom) and 3 strips were riveted on, binding the rings together.

The record is brass that has been acid etched, the lines are consecutive as opposed to a spiral which i had no idea how to draw out accurately by hand.

 To give a sense of scale the base is 40 x 40mm wide, and the mouth of the horn is 105mm wide.
