Ron,

Fabulous piece! Please take a look at the thread about needing help with inlay. You obviously have the process figured-out! Any help you can give me on cutting tight curves to proper depth for inlay without scarring the edges of the design, would be welcome.

well thanks jim and mark .. mark i will give you all the help that you need it is very easy to inlay tight gold scroll . my method is like a lot of others . all i do is under cut my arears to be gold inlayed with a small flat chisel that i grind to a lond 15degree face and then i adjust the with of this chisel to fit the curves .. i hope this helps i am sure that sam and ray who are a real master in this field can give you more advise .. ron p.

ok glen .. i then will tell you and show you how i do gold inlays i will also bring some of the chisels that i use .. see you there .. ron p.

 

[Mike Cirelli]

Ron that is a beautiful Colt. How far down in grit do you polish, it looks like it's buffed. I really like that look.
Do you do all your outlines and inlays, polish and then go in and do your fine lines?
How you feeling? I hope well.
Mike

hi mike .. i feel GREATTTT . well almost . i do all of my gold inlays first then i do my engraving patterns and after that i do the fine line shading next comes the cutting of the back ground and then i sand every thing with 600 paper and then polish every thing , the gold doesnt get shaded until after the polishing .. ron p.
