I love the look of hand hammered brass washers from the hardware store. Do you have any tricks or tools for texturing both sides?
- Margaret
You can use metal stamps for both sides, one side at a time, or you can use texturing hammers, again one side at a time. This should work well for brass washers.
Follow these steps:
If you are working with metal washers that are thin and measure 26-gauge through 30-gauge, you can anneal as above in the first step and then run the washer through an embossing tool.
Last alternative is to run through a rolling mill with texture plates on both sides of the washer.
