Hammered Copper Sinks
Hammered copper sinks are magnificient and extremely decorating items that originate from the labour of Mexican artisans from the Michoacan region. These sinks are the basis of an original form of artwork that came to life in a little town called Santa Clara. A lot of families here have this artisan fabrication of hammered copper sinks as thri main income source. Shey sell the sinks in their shops that looks a lot like those from the medieval ages, when all kinds of swords, lances and other weapons were created with the help of rudimentary tools.
These copper sinks are entirely fabricated by hand. With the help of hammers and chisels every artisan has the duty of transforming a simple copper plate into a beautiful and utilitary form of art represented by a sink. The process that leads to a new copper sink is simple, though not precisely easy.
First the artisan must heat the copper plate until it gets soft enough so he can slowly hammer it and get the shape he has in mind. After carefully getting the sink in shape and once it has cooled down a second process starts. The surface of the sink must keep its appearance and color for years so a special treatment called “patination” is needed in order to preserve and protect the sink’s surface from the elements.
A special emphasis must be given to the process of “patination”. This is not a simple application of varnish to the surface of the copper sink as many people think, but it’s a whole process applied under heat that will let the surface acquire its characteristic color and maintain it for a long time. Once “patina” has been applied; a new copper sink, always different to the others, has been created.
So if you wish to give your home an extraordinary look with the use of products made by dedicated human hands and not by robots and machines, then you ought to think about installing one of these astonishing looking Mexican hammered copper sinks. They really do represent art in it’s most utilitary expression.

Copper Sinks in the Kitchen?
I am about to build a new house and would like a copper sink in the kitchen but wonder about its durability. I do not want a product that is not going to last forever. I am also concerned because several websites say that you can’t soak dishes that have acid-based foods in them. For example tomatoes?? Has anyone had any experience with this? I don’t want to use stainless because we’re going to use the bronzeish/brownish faucets and to me the stainless clashes. I personally want the durability of stainless (and the price). Other problem is we want to use an apron/farmhouse type of sink…
Give me your thoughts and recommendations please!

How do I rough-in a wet bar sink in my basement?
I am finishing my basement and am wanting to install a wet bar eventually which means I need to rough-in plumbing for it. Running the water to the area is easy, it’s the drain I have questions about. The closest drain I could tie into is coming from the kitchen sink upstairs. I need to run it approximately 40 feet in order to tie it to that drain. I’ve read where I would need to slope that pipe 1/4" for every foot, does that sounds correct?
In addition, there is a cleanout on the kitchen sink drain near where I am going to tie it in at (it’s about a foot above the basement floor). Would I need to tie my wetbar drain above or below that cleanout, or does it really matter? If I tie it in below the cleanout that means my wetbar drain wouldn’t have a cleanout anywhere, would I need to put one somewhere?
Finally, as far as venting the sink (which I’m assuming I need to do), I was thinking of just putting in an Air Admittance Valve under the sink, as opposed to trying to tie it in with an existing drain vent. Assuming code here allows the use of an AAV does that sounds like a good idea?
I plan on having all of this inspected but want to get it right the first time around, as I don’t have much plumbing experience. Yes, I could hire someone to do it but I’d rather "learn to fish" and do it myself so next time I’ll know how to do it!
I know it’s a lot of questions but I am really wanting a wet bar and would like to do it myself so any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!
I want to put a wet bar in our detached shed. How can I recycle the greywater from the sink?
I want to put a wet bar in our detached 8×14 shed. The only drainage will be greywater from the sink. Assuming only water, leftover beverages, and environmentally friendly non-toxic cleaning agents go down the drain, can I drain it directly into our garden, or will it need to be treated in some way?

Kitchen sink: single bowl vs double?
why one or the other? please let me know the pros/cons. Also, I don’t understand why for some of the double bowls, one side is very small/narrow, what purpose can that possibly serve?
personally, i like one big bowl, so I can dump all the dishes in and wash. so what really is the purpose of the 2nd bowl??
