@J3Jewerly, that is a great way to get some texture. You can also alter the face of your hammer to create a texture.

I love your videos so much, Melissa. They are definitely my main go-to resource for before buying new tools.

J3Jewelry here. I agree using hammers must be easier to get pattern onto your metal. I was able to get a neat fine pattern on the inside of my 1" hammered earring loops by hammering over the handle of my ring mandrel which has a fine rough texture, as I don't have any textured hammers - yet.

@333Peppy333, That is certainly one of the best compliments a person can give me. Thank you so much. :)

Melissa I am so enjoying all of your videos! I looked around to see if you had a more recent Hammer Video but I did not see one. I am curious if you have any experience with Fretz Textured Inserts for Fretz Hammer? Appreciate if you have any feedback or suggestions.
