Tuesday

Sample Fabrication:
1. Saw your metal in half with a zig zag line.
2. Draw a shape on one of the halves.  Tap a dimple towards the inside of the line.  Drill a whole in the dimple.  Saw out the shape.
3. File the zig zag edges.  Make one pointed and make the other curved.  File the negative shape using flat files for the straight edges and round files for the curved edges.

Demo
4.  Anneal your metal to prepare it for further work hardening.

5. Apply a rolled texture to the half without the negative space shape.

6. Apply a stamped texture to the half with the negative space shape.
