Meet Jim Hamenn, Owner of Duparquet Copper Cookware in Greenwich, Rhode Island

We are witnessing a restoration of multiple facets in this season 7 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 702). We are in Greenwich, Rhode Island, home to Duparquet Copper Cookware, owned and operated by Jim Hamenn. For Jim, copper restoration started as a hobby, then grew to a restorative operation, and finally, transformed into a full-fledged manufacturing company. In this segment, we learn about the process of copper restoration and manufacturing, as well as the inspiration behind the name Duparquet Copper.
