You ta...Hammering is simply a way of shaping metal. You take a wooden form, hold a sheet of metal over it and whack away until it assumes the shape of the form. In ancient times hammering was used to make bowls and cookware, and in some areas, like North Africa, it still is. In the early 20th century it was popular for art-deco decorative items, vases and ice buckets for instance. We have some hammered cutlery and serving spoons at home.<br /><br />Today rollers and dies replicate the look of hammered metal without actually hammering it. The problem is that such tooling is very expensive, so I wouldn't expect hammered lights, reflectors, and such until there is a much bigger market for them.Velo Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835615331417822722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-81231519291987455352010-01-27T17:46:41.677-05:002010-01-27T17:46:41.677-05:00Any chance for a matching rear reflector?
