    OK so I've been asked to show how to print actual size with an s-pen app. I'm using concepts and have paid for some basic features (which you have to do for each device if you want to use it on phone and laptop or tablet). Concepts app looks like this and here's something I've drawn on it

    Hi all. Hope everyone's well. I've just been learning to design on an app on my phone which has an S-pen and it works great. I've even gotten an email reply from the app makers as to how to print actual size. Now my printer is the downside. I am able to design with 10x the precision that...

    Thanks Davesobel, I went with your advice seeing its what I'm most familiar with and comfortable and it was very quick and easy. ended up with the slightest amount of dipping down of the gold and rounding over of the engraving which is all to be recut anyway so that's fine. overall I'm pretty...

    Inlaying Dots (small circles)

    well, doesn't Barry Lee hands use rotary tools to inlay gold into mother of pearl? if you can use like a inverted cone bur vertically to undercut using a vertical tool holding depth guage kind of setup like a plunge router, you could probably do something.

    I had another go today and (hopefully) have gotten it all in securely and without any teeth sticking out. Much swearing was done. I had to recut the teeth a couple of times. I think point geometry was getting a bit too steep, and the point too dull, it just wasn't always cutting a tooth so...

    I've been tipping the template slightly as I swipe to round off the face and belly and also just tipping it on its slide to knock the corners off

    Hoping for Inlay Tips

    So I'm trying again today. I'm not having much luck today. every time I try to swipe these points through titanium I just leave chunks of the graver behind in the grooves that I wanted the gold to 'flow' into (when whacked adequately). I did successfully re-install the border bits that I...

    Well I didn't get to practicing any inlay this weekend seeing as Sam Alfano had a DVD special I bought some instant watch DVDs and watched the shading master class this weekend and found a phone drawing app that works with the s-pen that slots into my Samsung Galaxy Note 10. My favorite so far...

    Question: Design translation.

    I use the HP laserjet pro P1102w and print onto normal old baking paper sticky taped to normal old printer paper. It can be too warm for standard tape though and my dad spent half a day unjamming it for me. I use a heat proof sticky tape from O'Brien engineering in Australia. transfer...
