Tinsmithing Demonstration: Reproducing a US Civil War Tin Cup

A demonstration, given online as a presentation to the Early American Industries Association annual meeting, May 20-22, 2021, showing how I make a reproduction US Civil War tin cup, based on one in the collection of the American Civil War Museum in Richmond, Virginia. In the video, I discuss details about the cup, and show the various steps I take, using antique tinsmith's tools, to reproduce it. You can check out the EAIA's website at: https://eaiainfo.org/

If you like my work, you can see more of it at my webstore: https://dakotatinworks.com/
I sell a variety of reproduction and original items, and take commissions for new work.

I do research on tinsmithing as a heritage craft. You can support me in that effort through my Patreon page:   / dakotatinworks
