I have much to think about and I really appreicate the detailed and thoughtful replys

Thank you very much!

Hi I was thinking about making some decorative Roman armor from bronze cut out by a CNC machine. I am trying to re create something I saw on HBO.

Making the armor is simple making each scale look good with detail is the challenge.

The challenge I have is to make the scales not flat but to give them some definition. Since back in the age of antiquity they used a forge. Would a simple bent metal rod over a forge work. Sorry to display my post as being from a novice.

Would I need a forge that can get up to 800* or could I use a simple torch with map gas.

Thanks
