Default Re: Videos ~ 11 hours worth

Steve,

I'm curious about how the gold inlay is done. I have done silver inlay one time on a spider front site on a flintlock shotgun. This was done by undercutting the edges of the inlet and hammering the slightly thicker silver site into the inlet, locking it in. I'm wondering how your method differs, since it would seem that recutting the design as you do, following the seam of the two metals would destroy the joint and release the inlay, if done by the method I used.
I'd love to see the video of the inlay process, if you find it.

Thanks,
Jeff
