Sounds like a neat project. Grab a piece of low‑carbon steel or even a bit of copper‑nickel alloy—those melt a bit softer and give that warm glow. Keep the piece thin, maybe a tiny oval, and hammer it into a subtle curve. A few gentle grooves will catch light and feel comforting. If you want a touch of color, a quick anodise or a coat of brass paint will give it that soft hue. I’ll work the metal while you watch the flame; you can add the final polish once it cools. Just remember: a good charm needs a good balance of strength and tenderness, so don’t rush the heat—slow, steady hits are the key.

Sure thing, just give me the metal and a steady heat, and I’ll hammer out the shape. The etch on the back can stay light, like a whisper; it won’t add weight but gives it soul. I’ll keep my hands steady, avoid any rush, and make sure the piece is solid enough to hold its charm. Then you can polish it to a gentle glow. It'll be a quiet friend for a while.

Sounds good. Bring the steel and the hammer, and I’ll keep the fire steady. Once it cools, you’ll add the polish and the gentle touch. No rush, just a solid piece that holds its warmth.
