After primary school, the Luk brothers began apprenticing with their father who founded Bing Kee Copperware in the 1940s. Their skills were acquired not so much out of interest, but for survival. Now octogenarians, the brothers have handcrafted countless giant herbal tea urns, gongs, and various cookware in their lifetimes. The duo were once part of a thriving copperware industry that has dwindled with the arrival of stainless steel commodities. Together they carry on a legacy as the very last coppersmiths in Hong Kong.
「陸樹才、陸強才兩兄弟小學畢業後便跟隨父親陸炳學習打銅，原意只為擁有一技傍身，不料卻成就了六十年的事業。「炳記銅器」手工精良，由大型涼茶鼎、銅鑼，至銅壺銅煲，每件皆由兩兄弟經過千錘百鍊而成。1960年代起銅器行業蓬勃，市場需求殷切。然而隨著其他物料興起，銅製器具逐漸從日常生活中銷聲匿跡。儘管如此，陸氏兄弟仍然並肩作戰，鎮守著這一間自1940年代開業、香港碩果僅存的手打銅器店，堅持著「香港製造」的精神。」
