Default The Gold Colt Updated

Seeing how this is a personal project )work in process) my time is limited to weekends, so the progress is a little slow since my last post. Hopefully I'll get it done by the end of the year. Grips and box to be worked yet along with some Gold plating of small parts etc. _JR

The scrollwork is cut first then the background is taken out two levels. The undercuts are made and the relieved areas have teeth raised to lock in the Gold wire (24k) then the Gold is bead punched with the smallest bead punch (1/4mm) Detail is then cut in the scrollwork. Very time consuming, roughly 8+ hours per inch or so._JR
