@zoelocke@toot.wales@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe Anodised aluminium is a very modern technique afaik, using electricity and a chemical bath to change the colouration of the metal's surface. Meanwhile the pliers, generally the only tool you need, are little different to how they always have been (though mine have small springs to make them open automatically.)

I imagine the makers of your craft in centuries gone by would have been delighted to have your range of colours to play with !
@suearcher @MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe with European 4-in-1 you can use different rings to create images, like pixel art. I can imagine they'd have used that to work their emblems directly into their armour.
