      I'd like to model a towel hook that I can export to a STL file to print. A rough version is below. However, I would like to give the surfaces the appearance of hammered wrought iron. That is, I would like to put a number of small, spherical indentations on the surfaces, with some variation in the sizes and scattered randomly. For simplicity, this could be limited to the flat surfaces.

      I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I might model that.

        You could just do some randomly sized spheres and intersect them with the surface.
        Here's a quicky.
