Hammering bronze into sheets

I’m not quite sure if this is the right sub or not, but I figured that I’d ask anyways

I want to turn thin (~1/8”) tin bronze ingots into sheets to use in Roman style lorica segmentata armor for renfest. I don’t have a roller, but I wanted to ask how hard is it to hammer bronze into sheets?

Also, should I hammer it hot like iron or cold and anneal?

Copper stackers — did I miss anything in MyOunces?

Hey r/Copper — just added copper support to MyOunces, curious if I'm missing anything

Not sure if tracking copper value is something this community cares about, but I recently added copper support to MyOunces — a free, privacy-first portfolio tracker. 

Right now there are 18 products including rounds, bars, cubes, cylinders, bullets, pre-82 pennies, and a custom entry option if something isn't on the list.

Once added you can track oz/lbs, current value, P&L, and more.

Curious if there are any sizes or products I'm obviously missing and whether tracking copper value is even something you'd find useful day to day.
