A piece of gold cut has been cut out and the edges burnished. It is checked for fit:





Pushed into place with a bamboo rod ( learned this trick studying damascene in Kyoto , Japan)





we start punching it down with a piece of 1/8 round momax ( my friend Dan Goodwin, who taught me hammer and chisel gave me a couple of feet

We keep punching:



Until all is well and secure:
