Stuller offers almost any gage you need for a lot of their stampings and in most precious metals . But to buy from Stuller, you have to set up an account, which requires a retail business license.
Thank you all. I have to admit, the previous attempt at lined background did not turn out so well. I may be getting a little better but not good enough to be good every time.
I must practice.

Thanks Mitch. Yes, I love how that looks on your work. I did another one similar to this with a harder shadow and I wanted to try the softer shadow. As I look at it now, I also think I should have had just a little more shadow on the B. I'll have to work on my lighting direction.
It is a good idea to put a date on this one and others you will do. Years from now with many hours of engraving behind you, you will see your progression.
I decided car my key needed an accessory. This is my first gold inlay work. It is in mild steel and my first time at blueing. Didn't know what to expect. I know I need a lot of practice still on my scrolls, but it is a start.

I finally had the chance to do some engraving! Did a practice plate with some fonts and my first copper inlay. Also did a stainless slide for a friend. He wanted his name and team logos.
