How To Fume Patina Copper, ammonia salt - Front Door Build Part 1 - Woodworking - Metal

I start a new commission this week. Building a front door for a client's house. The door is made up of solid wood, walnut, and copper. In this first video, I show you how to add a blue patina to copper. This is a similar way you would go about creating an aged look in copper but we get crazy into the Bright vibrant blue. This is how I add a Blue patina to copper.

Here is a link to the how to patina metal book I referenced.
