In this episode of Tips From The Shipwright, host Lou takes us on a special trip to Tiverton, Rhode Island, for a behind-the-scenes tour of Metal Works, a copper shop known for its craftsmanship and artistry. We explore the shop floor, see the tools and techniques that bring copper to life, and watch as the team cuts out the iconic “ORCA” lettering. Lou is in awe of the magnitude of the machinery and grateful to see a traditional, family-run business still thriving in today’s world. Whether you’re a boat enthusiast, a maker, or just curious about traditional craft in the modern age, this episode shows how history and skilled workmanship come together.
