Corrugation is yet another way to give texture and form to your metal. Since corrugation greatly strengthens the metal (think cardboard box) you can use a much thinner gauge of metal. A thinner gauge of metal translates to less expense. We’ll do some simple corrugating. The kit will have enough metal to make a pair of earrings or a pendant in silver and also in copper. There will also be some copper sheet to texture for future projects.
