Overview

Incorporating textures into your jewelry designs adds complexity and elegance. It's easily done with a rolling mill, but many makers lack the space or budget for this larger equipment.

Easy Metal Textures details twenty-four different techniques for adding texture without the need for heavy equipment. Each makes use of common tools and materials around the shop - like hammers, stamps, punches, and tool bits for the Dremel or Foredom.

Each texturing technique is explained in detail with:

  • Description and pictures of the technique
  • Procedures for creating the texture
  • List of tools needed to apply it
  • Options for modifying and personalizing
In addition, the author details how to make simple modifications to common tools that specialize them for creating new and fresh textures. In one novel example, you'll learn how to make a set of mini-texturing tools from items found at a local hardware store or flea market. And in another, you'll see a fast way to create your own texturing hammers. Several Appendices are included to provide sources and useful bench tips for working with steel.
