    Question: How does one do square wire inlay?

    I really don't see anything especially difficult about this. It is just well done. The one thing that makes me wonder is this. Rose-colored gold is usually somewhat hard. That makes it more difficult to inlay. It's probably done with round wire. I don't think it is relief it just looks like...

    Laser printer vs inkjet printer.

    With all the hacking going on these days it's hard to know what's up half the time. Facebook hacked my contact list. Someone often sends me an email posing as a friend and asking for money to cover an emergency. I know it phoney right away because none of my friends ever need money.

    Jura Artgraver engraving machine?

    I can't imagine anything better than what I have now. The only complaint I have is my silent compressor gets oil into the lines at times. At any rate, I'm too old to change now. I would rather have the money for other things. Every time I buy a new gadget I find it's not as good as what I...

    Question: inlay

    diane b Cerakote does not wear off it can only be removed with abasives. There is no known chemical that will remove it, after it cures. I even tried aircraft paint remover ans oven cleaner, It will stand 800 ° F. However it is expensive but all good stuff is.

    Question: inlay

    Yes you can inlay mild steel. Any iron based alloy will rust but you can coat it with cerakote and stop the rusting. Ceracote will also stop the acid problem from being handled by people that are eating hot dogs with mustard on them.
