Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey, I'm wanting to get into scrolling, I don't really know how exactily to do it, our how to start out, A.K.A. what type of metal to start with, so if anyone could give me any help, that would be great! Thanks!

I did my very first piece a week ago. I used a 3' piece of 5/16 round cold rolled steel. I'm no grip master by the biggest stretch, & it was pretty tough. The first couple of bends were pretty easy, then as the ends got shorter, it was tough. I'd recommend (& I haven't tried this yet) starting closer to one end, then working to the other. I'm going to try that next & use 1/4" so I can work tighter loops. Good Luck-

John

I like heavy things.
