    Japanese Inlay Technique.

    Thank you for your answer, Michael! I mean jewelry especially with this technique of japanese inlay. I could imagine that silver might be to soft to hold the metal properly? But i cant imagine to use any other steel than stainless steel for jewelry. Does anybody knows if you can use this...

    Turntable use ... i dont get it :(

    Thank you, Sam! I found that video. There was also a nice hint on how to center when the vise is on the bench Instead on a turntable. That works great with the positioning pin vise. Since i only have a microblock xl its not that easy to get it perfect leveled. Maybe you can see a tilt better...

    Question: How do you price the layout for an engraving job?

    I wonder how do you handle the pricing for a layout? In regards of cutting i bet most experienced engravers know how long they need to cut an animal, ornaments or what time it takes to inlay wires. Even if there might be variations in the time, for most engravers this might be at least a rule of...

    Question: FEGA DVD´s

    I recently found out that there is a long list of DVD´s from past seminars that can be ordered. Now i wonder what is the content in those DVD´s?

    A NICKEL FOR YOUR THOUGHTS...

    That looks great, a lot of well executed work! It looks almost deeper than a coin could be. Could you please tell how deep the engraving actually is? More than 1mm?

    The Walk A'Bout Pedestal

    I always wondered why nobody uses the kind of bench vises that is used in germany. You can rotate the vise with the tip of your graver (while cutting) and dont need to walk a single step. I used it for years and cant imagine that there should be a better way to engrave scrolls or other curves...

    Question: durability of engraved jewelry

    Thank you both for your answers! Dont worry Mitch, i dont want to copy this pendant. It was just as an example. But thank you regarding the advice about the light angles.

    Question: durability of engraved jewelry

    Thank you for your answer Allan! I dont want to polish the bulino pendant after engraving. I guess the engraving is better visible with a matt finish. What you are saying increases my concerns. But is it pontless to do a necklace like this then? The rose leafs, for example, looking like very...

    Question: durability of engraved jewelry

    I would like to engrave a necklace with a fine line/dot bulino engraving on silver. But i wonder how long such delicate engravings will last? Do they wear of during the years? I mean silver is a very soft material and the lines a pretty thin. Has any of you experiences with that topic? Would it...
