One more thread to follow the making of handmade open work Jian fittings (Chinese Sword Fittings ) from a traditional crafts metalwork studio – nine dragon .
I do hope there will be a lot of interest in the whole process from start to finish for everyone to watch from and enjoy.

As usual, Please feel free to ask questions and in order to keep the thread complete and knowledgeable, and within forum guidelines please do not discuss prices or the purchase here, instead privately SMS if you wish.

Hi Charles

Thank you for showing us the steps you take for your beautiful work.

I have a question......................by the looks of the photo you draw the design on very thin paper and then wrap it around the object to be engraved............then cut through the paper????

Cheers
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Yes, you are right. make or draw the design one the ordinary paper, or draw the simple design directly on the metal base. then slightly cut through the paper then the design will swift to the metal base. in fact, there is more ways to do this. but i most do like this.

Very sorry that the late reply, i just come here.
