hotshot Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Ok, I'm sure some of you were hoping this was in wood . . . in time, I'll get back to wood, but I just need to get metal out of my system first. In any case, you have to admit, you have probably never seen this done with coins before :-)The gold/bronze inlayed coin is a Greek 100 Drachma, the copper is a Provident Mint coin. Blade was 2/0, angle for inlay was just under 8 degrees. You can't really tell it in the picture, but I lucked out and the inlay is perfectly flush and tight. I'll probably drill a hole in the top for a chain or something.-----Randy Fab4, JOE_M, Karl S and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 That is some very fine cutting. "Fine" as in delicate and "fine" as in awesome looking. Go back to wood if you want, but do not quite the metal cutting. Love seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 You've outdone yourself Randy! I know you said the inlay is flush and tight, but did you have to glue it in or solder it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said the inlay is flush and tight, but did you have to glue it in or solder it? Used CA glue to make sure it doesn't come out. Over time, I'm not sure if it will hold, I'll have to see. A real Jeweler probably would have silver soldered it. Edited April 22, 2017 by hotshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have much scrap in that thickness to test on, but I found a big enough piece to cut a few really small test circles, and when I thought I was close, I tweaked the angle up just a little to be tight. I was relieved it worked. Gordster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
