Tip of the day...Texturing nickel silver

[Phillip Jones]

I mounted a brass and a steel wire wheels to a bench grinder. I made a couple pieces with nickel silver that needed to be cleaned. I ran them across the wheels and got a nice texture. Steel wheels give a rougher finish than the brass. The steel one even cleaned up a few file marks without removing much material.

If a man can keep alert and imaginative, an error is a possibility, a chance at something new; to him, wandering and wondering are a part of the same process. He is most mistaken, most in error, whenever he quits exploring.
