    Sorry John...I didn't mean to

    I think you're doing just very great from what I can see and no doubt he will order even more :-) Keep rocking! :-)

    Thanks a lot! :-) No it´s not carved out, just tight lines.. I wasn't sure if it became too dark but it changes a little with the light.. :-)

    Got the chance to try a twisted wire inlay on a mirror finish surface.. the wire is 0,53 mm, twisted by two 0,3 mm wires. :-)

    New to a few things in this project.. First I finally got to experiment a little more with my XTool D1 Pro 20W laser. Works great for transferring on steel, copper and aluminum with the infrared head with thin and clear lines. Still need to try on brass and silver.. So what’s better start...

    A good enough microscope

    If I were you I would try to look for a good priced Meiji EMZ-5 It´s a very good scope with quality lenses you can have for years. I was lucky and got one for $350 from eBay. They are usually priced more high, but if you have a little luck and time it should be possible. I can use it a full day...

    Meiji magnification

    My Meiji EMZ-5 Uses 10X eyepieces and a 0,5 Barlow lens. That´s also what my other microscope uses.. I dont know the EMX-1 very well, but I´m not sure if it´s well suited for engraving. It does not have any zoom from what I can see.. so if you buy 5x eyepieces you get 5x zoom, and if you get...

    Inlaying Green gold?

    Also another thing, when working with more hard metal I make more teeth´s especially in the beginning and the end.. in the middle too, but I want to make sure it sticks at the first hit, unless I´m just making a lot of extra work for myself. Just to make sure :-) Also depends a little if it´s...

    Inlaying Green gold?

    I have been playing a little with silver, copper, brass, gold and rose gold.. all fine except rose gold, which is extremely hard. Even brass is easier.. but might be because I did not anneal it well enough. But I know from others that anyhow good it´s annealed, it´s going to be hard! :-)...

    First inlay attempt

    Hi, looks fairly good to me to be your first attempt :-) Looks like you have been using copper wire by wire and then often you can end up with these "holes" as copper works hard very fast and are difficult to "blend" together... but still pretty good :-) Now try to make a thin outline around...

    What is a good printer setup for doing transfers on to metal?

    You´re probably right and that´s why I´ll be looking for a 2nd hand one.. just to make sure I got one that works. The ink will most likely still be produced for years to come :-)

    I love any rainy day when no need to go outside the house, just playing.. a little something to try to learn a little more about light and shading.. maybe over the top but quite fun and relaxing :-) for me anyway.. drawing humans is not my strong side, so a silhouette will have to do.. if I...

    What is a good printer setup for doing transfers on to metal?

    I can only confirm what works for me.. as for laser printer I use an old HP LaserJet P2035. It can print in maximum 600 dpi so it has some limitations, but works well with acetone transfer and printing on parchment paper (I have to tape the parchment paper to the printing paper) and use damar...
