Encouraged by Suzanne, I took the plunge and ordered a rolling mill. I’ve put it off because I was being snobby about buying a really good one and they run about $1,200. I found a small one at [Harbor Freight Tools](http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=4832) and the cost with shipping was only around $200 so I figured it would be worth the investment. If it’s something I use all the time and need an upgrade in the future, I can invest in the Durston mill.
So, you’re probably wondering what in the world I would do with a rolling mill – besides smash metal. I can imprint patterns on metal and roll wire to different thicknesses. These are things that can’t be done with the equipment I have. I’m sure I’ll be discovering more in the coming months as I play with it and get to know it. Look for new, fun jewelry soon!
Can’t wait to see the experiments that come out of it!
Sooooooooo…have you rolled anything yet?
Somehow I knew you’d be the one wondering where the new stuff was! Yes, I’ve rolled a few things, but I’ve been sidetracked with school. I have an idea for something. Maybe you’ll see it sometime in early November…
