In this video, Prof. John Ahr demonstrates how you can add detail and texture to sheet metal using paper and a rolling mill. This is an inexpensive way to mimic the look of sand blasting or bead blasting. Any sort of paper will work; even sandpaper, file folders, and facial tissue.

Thanks a lot.
Most welcome! You might want to investigate laser cut papers. They are sold for scrapbooking. You can also find some laser cut paper used on greeting cards. : )
very cool!
***** Thanks for sharing the video. I'm glad you like it. And, thanks for watching! : )
As always you make me so happy to think of all the fun projects I can create with the skills you share! Thank you Prof. John! ps I am a bit afraid of damaging my Durston- saved forever to buy it. Some sites say to wrap the project in paper towels before putting thru mill. Thoughts???
I'm so glad that you're enjoying the OJA's videos. To protect your rollers, you can place copper sheets on either side of your project. Sandwiching you project this way ensures that nothing harder than the rollers comes into contact with them. Wrapping projects in paper towels can help you from having debris get caught in the gears of your rolling mill. But, the paper towels will leave a trace of their presence on the back side of whatever you run through the rolling mill. Be sure to keep the rollers free of moisture. And when you're not using the rolling mill, lightly coat the rollers with oil and cover the mill to protect it from dust and sunlight. Yes, sunlight can heat the rollers and promote the development of rust. There you have it. Have fun!
Thanks for your support! : )
I have enjoyed your videos! Thank you for taking the time to teach what you know!! I am researching rolling mills and wanted to know what kind you recommend and how much is a decent one.
***** If you live in an area where you can examine a rolling mill before buying it, you might want to meet with a sales person to discuss options and price. Otherwise, I recommend that you do some comparative shopping on-line. Most tool supply companies have a technical support person available who can answer any specific questions that you might have. Figure out what you want to accomplish with your rolling mill and purchase one that provides you with the size and options that you need to accomplish your goals. When it comes to price, you'll just have to comparison shop. Good luck. And, thanks for watching.

There is no contest to a good rolling mill. Buy a Durston new, or if lucky.....find an old german or italian rolling mill.
Hi! As always, I cherish your tutorials! I wonder if you have any on using rolling mill rollers that are made for creating textures on wire?
Hi Erica, The OJA doesn't have a video on using the rolling mill to texture wire. Generally textured wire is created with a rolling mill that is equipped with special rollers that have a pattern etched into one of them. It basically works the same way as the processes demonstrated in the video. By the way, specialty rollers can be very expensive.
Thanks for your support! : )
This is just about the thickness of the paper. You just want to make sure there is enough thickness for the metal not to hit the other side of the roller. Generally, paper is associated with the pound measurement. What is the minimum you suggest?
The type and thickness of the paper will effect the look of the matte texture. For example, a manila file folder will produce a heavier texture than a piece of hot press artist's paper. This technique will work with a piece of 20 lb. paper. But, you might want to check out the OJA's video on how to make the "Moonshine Bracelet". You'll find it in our playlist on our website at: www.onlinejewelryacademy.com. In that video you'll see how I used a brass tool along with a piece of facial tissue to create shiny and matte surfaces. Have fun experimenting with your rolling mill.
Thanks for your support! : )
I like your teaching and presenting style. But I suggest you invest in better lighting and camera equipment. Try lighting at least first.
+Richard Powell
Hi Richard, Thank you for the compliment. And thanks you for your feedback. Budgetary constraints being what they are limit the quality of our videos. But, we will look into making some lighting adjustments. Also we have opened up "fan funding" to try to help with some of these issues.
Thanks for watching! : )
Totally understand. Great job by the way. What city are you in?
+Richard Powell
Hi Richard, Thanks again for the compliment. We film in Hollywood, CA (the land of the stars).
