A place is made for the gold and arches raised: 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 of this wonderful momax stuff back in the 80's): We keep punching: Until all is well and secure: Last edited: May 18, 2016
