I decided to give a shot at trying to make some mokume

took one sheet of copper and a brass one

then i cut the sheets into 2 cm wide pieces and sanded of the burrs

cleaned everything up with some acetone

then I made this little vise to squeeze the pieces together

(sorry for the shitty pics, i'll post some more as go through with the process)

Brass is an alloy of copper but tends to have other metals added that lower melting point. I'm guessing the brass gets soft first and then the copper follows.

From what I've seen, it's mostly been small gauge wire to hold the pieces in place just long enough to smash them together then they burn away after a while. Then more heat and more smashing, repeat. Having bars on each side that prevent any smashing together should be an interesting hurdle.

Full disclosure... I have no idea how this actually works. I hope you get amazing results though!

Oh, and still in. :want:
