    Cracking on 18K red gold wire while rolling.

    Lots of trouble over the years specifically (only) with 18kt red gold. Lots of little things I have heard, and I throughly everything at it and get decent results. Sometimes I get a fracture and make two pieces of plate or wire intead of one. All said here already, but Don’t keep the heat...

    Stipple Point

    How do you get an eccentric point grinding it spinning? Do you offset your blank a little bit? Or do you chuck it up in your qc holder?

    Need Die Sinker's Chisel .125"?

    Grs complicated

    I use a Lindsay for most of my work, but I will attest that it is not complicated to "tune" the GRS unit.. and once I've got it it is pretty much stable. The Lindsay actually requires more fiddling as you go along, nonetheless I prefer it for most basic engraving. I'm not sure im contesting...

    Question: Sandblasting or beadblasting

    Take what I say with a pound of salt, because I haven't sandblasted engraved work.. I have done some sandblasting preparing large bronze castings for patina and on glass. Caveat out of the way. Strikes me, that if you are going to French grey, and your canvas is already level and clean...

    Nitrite Problems with gold

    Krugerands, i think you mean, are 22kt .... that may be the issue you have had with your alloy. I did not reverse the hardnesses on 14 and 18. That is the information as I received it from the smelter... maybe they gave it to me wrong, but I don’t think so as that was the precise subject of...

    Nitrite Problems with gold

    I don’t know what experience you have working with these materials.. Logically, gold being softer you would expect that the less alloy you have in with your gold the softer it will be.. you would think, but there is also chemistry at play here.. I work almost exclusively with 18 and 22 kt...

    Bench Pin

    In pic one and two you can see a little dado along one side of the box. A piece of plywood slips in there to allow for a tray that pulls out a bit. I don’t really use it. It would be better on the other side to bridge the cutaway when the box is in transport. Pic three you can see the...
