A coppersmith, also known as a redsmith, is a person who makes artifacts from copper. The term redsmith comes from the colour of copper. ==Examples of objects made by modern coppersmiths == These include:- * jewellery, sculptures, weather vanes, overmantels, fenders, decorative panels, and challenge shields; *plates and cookware, cigarette cases, tobacco jars, tea and coffee pots, jugs, vases, trays, frames, rose bowls; *awnings, light fixtures, fountains, range hoods, cupolas, and stills. Notable copper styles in the UK include Newlyn in Cornwall and Keswick in Cumbria. Coppersmith work started waning in the late 1970s and early 1980s and those in the sheetmetal trade began doing the coppersmith's work, the practices used being similar to those in the plumbing trade. Coppermiths in recent years have turned to pipe work, not only in copper but also stainless steel and aluminium, particularly in the aircraft industry. They are one of the few trades that have a mention in the Bible.〔2 Timothy 4:14(KJV), Alexander the coppersmith, although later editions mention a metalworker.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coppersmith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
