Phil, Masterfully done work at warp speed with you standard artistic genius. I have a couple of technical questions I would like to ask you if you don't mind sharing a little more.
Starting with a question on a trigger guard, many times they are shaped differently if it is a right handed gun or a left handed gun. We will assume we are talking about a right handed gun. Suppose you decided to have a gold inlayed border. I assume that the inlay would require steel on both sides of the gold inlayed line. Would the right side have a wider steel border on the outside of the inlay? On the outside of the left side of the trigger guard gold inlay how much steel must be left to hold the gold inlay line? In other words, how close can you come to the edge of the trigger guard?
My next question is about the area on side plates or any other areas where steel comes into contact with the wood of the stock or forearm. How much steel must be left to hold the inlay if you designed with the appearance of the gold against the wood?
Thank you very much for your response. Fred
now they are down to a handful a year because the work is different, the total amount is around 240.
