Tip Of The Month E3

Tip Of The Month- May,09,2016

Hello everyone,

I have a texture hack for you today, this past winter I was wondering how to get that cool texture that is just like a soft mottled texture like I have on this piece I am working on.

I love this texture its like grunge texture and it will look awesome when I patina it. the trick I found is to use a weighted nylon mallet and a fire brick, just place the piece of metal face down on the fire brick and hammer it with medium force, you may also want to move it around to get more variety of pattern.

Tip Of The Month E2

Tip Of The Month- April 10, 2016

If you have ever stamped a piece of metal you know how hard it can be to line everything up. The last thing you need to worry about is the metal moving. so the tip is blue painters tape, any tape will do but painters tape won’t leave gunk on your metal or bench block
