How to: My Favorite Rolling Mill Texture (Looks Like Leather!) and Make a Copper Trinket Dish
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I demonstrate how to achieve my personal favorite rolling mill texture. The texture makes copper look like leather! It is so pretty. I then demonstrate how to use the PotterUSA dish formers and hydraulic press to turn my textured copper into a trinket dish.

Excellent!!! Thank you!!
Love it!
Thank you so much for sharing your work, it is really beautiful. And yes, I was wondering what gauge you were using too!

I typically use 18 gauge for things like this. 16 gauge would be really nice too.
Beautiful work, Lynette! You’re so creative! I love this! Where did you find your thicker urethane?

What is the blue solution you dip the copper into called?
Thanks for a great video. If you texture silver do you worry about the aluminum affecting the silver?

No, the aluminum (used this way) should not cause any issues with the silver!
What gauge metal do you find works the best for you? I just order my silhouette die and now I need to order some metal. Thanks, I always like to have an idea of what I am doing before I do it.

I ususally prefer to use 18 gauge with silhouette dies!
Fun. Can you tell me what the yellow things are at the top and bottom of your mill? Are they to keep your wheels clean?

Oil impregnated foam, stops the rollers rusting, many Jewellers and metal smiths do this.

Yes, it’s a large sponge from Home Depot that I coated in oil to clean and oil my rollers each time I use the mill.
Thanks for the video. Wish there was'nt the irritatting repetitive loop of music in the background. Stressful. It's nice to watch tutorials that are more calming. That was a grueling loop to listen too.
I strongly suggest you sandwich all that in cardboard or a folder or a bunch of pages so that your rollers won't get marks. They are expensive to replace!

Nothing I am using here will mark up the rollers. Sandwiching is unnecessary. They are case hardened tool steel.
thank you! but the music is 🤪🤪🤪🤯🤬😢
