I would look at various leather working suppliers for a new source of brass Chicago screws. Weaver leather supply has some good looking ones. Your results on these look good, but aluminum sure seems soft for fasteners.

You may want to consider a satin clear coat on those screws as the patina while it looks good in colour is actually not particularly durable against rubs

Thank You Tim for the offer on an axe. The problems would arise as said item goes through Her Majesty Customs Revenue and Excise (HMRC) here in the UK. Wood box, wood shavings, and a nice big lump of sharpened iron. Let one of your good fellows on that side of the pond have the enjoy your fine professional refinery. Good vid. Thank You. M

Still jealous of the boxes as an axe owner :) But I noticed the patina is pretty easy to scratch with the screwdriver…. maybe some sort of anodizing process to toughen it up?

with what you do i am surprised you haven't got a screw press yet, brass is about %80 copper and %20 aluminum. copper sulfate will just stick to that no problem and turn it coppery, that mix might stick better and look better after.
