(Granted, related but at a -1 to -3 depending on the complexity). Then factor the dishing of armour grade weight/thickness metal is different than copper weight/thickness for cookware. If nothing else we are looking at lower, more controllable temperatures.
I admit my ignorance about if you would need to temper the copper cauldron as part of the process.

Also, no where (I may have missed it) did item quality get factored in.
A copper-smith or bronze-smith is a 'brownsmith' (or a redsmith for copper specifically), a whitesmith is either a tinsmith (or other smith specialising in 'white' metals) or an ironsmith specialising in finishing work.
