Chasing Technique

I made a line chaser using tool steel. I have tried to chase a straight line as you can see figure 1 below. It was a bit difficult to do because I have not done chasing for a while. 

Figure 1- Mthethwa, F., (2020). Chased plate, brass.

Figure 2- Mthethwa, F., (2020). Chased plate, aluminium. 


I tried to chase a rose and leaves on the aluminium metal. The aluminum is the soft metal, it challenged me to not chase hard but chase softly on the metal so that it does not break.
