** How to Make a Brass Bookmark [18]
Secure a piece of brass of No. 20 gauge, having a width of 2-1/4
in. and a length of 5 in. Make a design similar to that shown, the
head of which is 2 in. wide, the shaft 1 in. wide below the
[Illustration: FIG. 1 Fig. 2 The Pattern and the Finished
Bookmark]
head and the extreme length 4-1/2 in. Make one-half of the design,
as shown in Fig. 1, freehand, then trace the other half in the
usual way, after folding along the center line. Trace the design
on the metal, using carbon paper, which gives the outline of the
design Fig. 2.
With the metal shears, cut out the outline as indicated by the
drawing. With files, smooth off any roughness
[Illustration: Drilling and Sawing the Metal]
and form the edge so that it shall be nicely rounded.
