    Komelia Okim will be giving a workshop for the Seattle Metals Guild
    at the end of this month.  One of the techniques that she will be
    teaching is "Poe-Mok Saang-Gum." 

    Here is her description of this technique: 

    Poe-Mok Saang-Gum is a Korean damascene technique of inlaying foil
    and/or wire on mild steel sheet without soldering.  The foils or
    wires must be very thin, fine metals, 24K gold foil, fine silver
    foil and/or copper foil can be milled to a 0.25mm.  Mild steel plate
    is attached to a metal surface block or on the metal anvil for
    chiseling.  The mild steel sheet is prepared for inlaying by
    chiseling the surface with four-directional cut, lines spaced as
    closely as in the tightly woven cloth such as tapestry. 

    The term "poe-mok saang-gum" derives from "poe-mok" meaning "cloth"
    and "saang-gum" meaning, "inlay."  The finished surface resembles a
    tapestry cloth. 

    This is the best explanation of Poe-Mok Saang-Gum that I have seen.
