Hiall, Jeff here from Pittsburgh PA. Cabinetmaker for last 30 years and part time know-it-all. Need some help tying to get a tight design brushed into aluminum panels. The design is a wave patern @ 3/4" tall and repeats @ 2". If you cut this out and move one half over till the highs and low align you get a fish type pattern.
Then you grind or sand the base ( aluminum in this case ) to get a burshed effect. Next step is to move entire pattern over 1/2 design and repeate brushing at an opposite direction.
When it's done you get an M.C. Esher type effect the suggests fish in a row. My trouble is that I can make this effect on a bigger scale and it looks great but when I try and csale this design down I cant seem it get in the corners to complete the brushing.
Hope I have not totally confused you all, any tips of trick will be be a blessing. Jeff in pa
