As one of the earliest metals used by humans, we value brass for a number of reasons. It is ductile while still maintaining high strength and wear resistance. Brass is also electrically and thermally conductive, corrosion-resistant, and antibacterial. Additionally, brass is popular for its attractive colors, ranging from deep reds and browns to richer shades of yellow and gold. Due to its elegant appearance, brass is a common choice for decorative projects.
Luckily, working with brass is relatively easy, and all you need is some basic knowledge and a few simple tools.
