Dimpling, scratching, and otherwise defacing metal
What's that Lassie? You say that SteveB fell down the old
rec.crafts.metalworking mine and will die if we don't mount a rescue by Thu, 8 Jan 2009 22:34:07 -0700: I want to make some hinges and stuff that look old, but are not. Could I take chisels and the round end of a ball peen hammer, and other striking devices and make marks on the metal cold, or should I heat and soften it first? you should be able to dent it with a hammer when cold. for a dark brown finish, coat in linseed oil and bake at 400F for 40min. -- Dan H. |
