Inlaying Stone

May 22, 2020 By Carol

by Peter Smith

I have been looking at the club website. I am impressed with the project’s members are doing at home. Mary’s Silver work has always been great. I would like to be that good. Carol’s locket and Ray’s casting are excellent. I have not been at the Club much since October 2018, but I am still working on projects at home. My latest endeavour is inlaying stone. The idea came from a You Tube Video (How to make a silver and turquoise inlayed ring without a lathe). Ray said I challenged him to make one, but all I said was it is easy. I didn’t mention that it is also easy to stuff up. The problems I had were crushing the stone and using too much glue. My last project was a pair of earrings and a pendent.
