Here’s an interesting texturing technique from @lbouton018—such a creative approach that adds character and dimension to your metalwork! 🛠✨⁣⁣

“Adding texture to my jewelry designs is always a must for me. In this video I am using a 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 to create this unique texture!”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 is a type of precision file with a cross-cut pattern that creates a grid-like texture on metal surfaces. It’s typically used in gunsmithing to create grip patterns on gunstocks or metal parts, but jewelers have adopted it for its ability to add distinct, uniform textures to metal jewelry.⁣⁣

I was today years old when I learn about these files, THANK YOU LAURA!⁣⁣
