    stainless steel for engraving

Before I used to measure it approximately by establishing said measurement in a caliper and then comparing under the microscope the distance between the teeth...

    stainless steel for engraving

    304 and 316 are practically the same with the difference of the presence of molybdenum in 316 that improves its anticorrosive characteristics. Neither of the two are very good for engraving, too pasty, however I use 316 as it is the one I have on hand, as I have researched the best for...

    Well, in the 11 years that I have been a goldsmith I never feel completely satisfied with a job, I have that feeling that I could have done some things differently, my goldsmith teacher always told me that this is good, a sign that you are growing It is bad to believe that you no longer have...
