Six Items you can make using copper pipe
Copper is a beautiful metal with a natural, warm, orange-red glow that eventually turns to a patina-green when oxidised. There is arguably no better material to use to craft unique pieces, especially given its soft and conductive properties.
There is no greater example of how copper ages beautifully, retaining its strength and character over time, than the famous landmark, the Statue of Liberty. The skin of the famous statue is constructed from copper which has stood the test of time against rain, wind and sea, and is now a beautiful shade of oxidised green.
