BRASS
BRONZE
GILDING METAL
STERLING SILVER
I must have got bored with the tumbling thing after making four tumblers in
different alloys, so I decided to make a lid for the first brass tumbler. This
showed pretty quickly that it was unstable, so I dimpled the base. After that I
decided that I preferred the tumblers to be converted to pots with lids, so have
two brass (only one shown), one gilding metal, one bronze and two sterling pots (again, only one shown). The not-shown sterling pot
is still 'work under construction' and does not have a dimpled base; instead I
flattened the base with a planishing hammer, then gave it a bevel all round the
bottom edge. Pics later.
