In my Middle School we cut short sections of dowell rod
and sharpened them in a pencil sharpener. Next we rounded
the points using sand paper to make our metal repousee
tools. If the metal is really "copper" then try a bit
of watered down Liver of Sulpher to darken the metal.
Then use steel wool to polish the higher areas to a
shine. Also we made soft pillows of pads of newspaper
to do our tooling work on rather than use a hard surface.
Some paper based ceiling tiles also can serve as a
working surface.
                        Enjoy, Woody
As a Middle School teacher I was able to use my students
to create their own tools. I considered it part of the
process.
