    The rolling mill just arrived. I am fairly new to metalsmithing and
    have taken a few classes. I've been reading posts, searching the
    archives and have gone through all books offered by our library. I've
    got a good idea of what I should be doing, but I sure don't want to
    ruin my new rolling mill. So before I wipe off all that grease, I
    thought I would ask for your recommendations.  I want to imprint to
    silver, but would first like to do a few pieces of copper to get some
    experience.  I want to create textured sheet to use for a 2" wide
    bracelet. I'm thinking of using watercolor paper as a template, to
    cut shapes out of and texture the background.  I'd be very interested
    to know step-by-step what you would do to produce this with the
    rolling mill.  What gauge of sheet stock would you use? Thanks so
    much!
