Forming copper

On our holiday in Wales we went to Welsh Winds Distillary and used this to distill 96% Ethanol with botanicals to create an 83% custom gin. We then added distilled water to bring it down to 43% and bottled it. Along with a custom label etc. it was one of the bottles we brought back.

It was a sweet little still and they had 6 of them in a row for up to 12 people to do the tour and gin making experience.

I'm wondering if anyone knows how the onion head or helmet bulge is made in that copper. Do they start with a flat sheet and spin it into the shape or start with the round tube and spin it? I didn't look closely at it so I don't know if there were seams.

But mostly curious how they are made.
 
My dumb ass guess is that they are made in two parts and copper weld/soldered together. ????

Copper is beautiful stuff. I'd love to be able to have the money and skills to make something out of copper.

I have a solid bar about 3" diameter of copper that I'm always looking for ideas what to do with. A copper hammer head just seems uneccesary.
 
Check out Ron Covell’s YT Channel - he does incredible things with sheet metal. Here’s part 1 of a copper water tank he made for one of Quinn’s projects:

I didn’t know you could weld copper!

Impressive pair of videos. I wish I had the knowledge to be able to work sheet metal that way.
