A threaded stainless steel rod...I could roll beads across the length of it? |
I don't see why not - it's not flat, so you'd get a slightly different shaped pattern. On the other hand - you'd get a slightly different shaped pattern!

Nice idea David!
|
nice idea; I use a threaded rod as a rod rest, so it's right there to try...
|
I should try that too, I used a wooden stool as a rid rest and try to put the hot part off the edge to the back. The stool has some singe marks. Lol
I found some long thing pointy metal BBQ skewers at the dollar store yesterday, I used as a scraper, it's cool cause they have looped ends and I can hang them on the wall |
Consider looking at old computer towers and such, the cooling fins are often in just the pattern you seek and frequently can be found for free!
|
Yup, e waiste recyclers or your local tec support will often have a few available.
Though its hit or miss as some have been anodized. A cheese grater or micro plan can also leave interesting texture marks. |
Ah yes I have an old computer tower handy in my closet o' junk and the other things sound cool too! Here's the rods I found some a good length and both were $5 all together https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jvnmv4utw...%2018%20PM.jpg

So here's 3 beads I made with the threaded stainless steel rods, I love them! If the bead is the right diameter, and I press/roll hard enough, it creates...hmm what would I call this shape...like sorta an hourglass-ish shape

I'd like to do it again lol |
