You can use the little brass ones, and it will color it slightly with brassy tint. Just a variation.One thing I know I need is a finer wire brush, these small pieces seem to slip through the bristles. I've got some smaller brushes, but they have plastic handles.
Very cool, John!My hammer fetish continues. While ordering the rounding hammer from Lilie Forge, I mentioned that I might be interested in a Jewelers hammer. His Jewelers hammers we're on the heavy side for me so discussed it and I sent a sketch. A kind of miniature dog head hammer with a 3/4" flat face with a rounded back, less than half a pound for peening pins. Anyways, long hammer story short, just got some pictures. 5.5 oz head.
