You hold stuff off center and form oval-ish shapes. I use a rawhide
mallet ,realising that I may need to polish the surface unless I want the brushed aluminum finish to partly xfer to the inside of the bracelet. enjoy!

I like it so much that when I stumbled across an aluminum bat in the trash, I grabbed it. I cut off the handle at the thinnest point (about a 12 according to my sizing rings), poured it full of plaster for mass and capped it with epoxy. Haven't used it yet. It has a fairly tough plastic coating on it, we'll see how it stands up. I don't plan to _forge_ against it but I expect it to be a happy thing for making things circular again. Thanks for the tip. -- to reply, change ( .not) to ( .net) |
