Are you cutting the copper with a lathe Bit? copper is a PITA to turn as it is sticky as hell as you may well know.
Soft copper (Ductile Copper) can be embossed with smooth hard steel (spun)
Great work Magnus,they are fantastic.

ah. i cut the copper rod in a metalsaw that cuts slow with water running on the blade.
in the lathe i only do the flatning and cutting the design. when i lathe both copper and aluminum i use 95% industrial alcohol to cool down both the cutting tool and the piece beeing turned.

And thanks.!

Those are things of BEAUTY right there!
