Question:

    After I've gotten competent at engraving and I'm finally working on
    commercial pieces, what do i do if I'm working on an 18 k gold
    bracelet and I slip up? Are there any tricks of the trade for
    covering up mistakes? Or do I just resign the piece to the scrap metal
    heap? 

    Also to Brian and anyone else with + years engraving experience, how
    would you compare say the foredom rotary engraver to the pneumonic
    engravers? Are they even comparable in your opinion? I was hoping to
    purchase an all in one tool - grinding polishing and engraving, but
    if experts in this forum advise against that I will just get a
    seperate rotary tool and engraving set up. 

    Thanks once more for everyone one's expert advice given on list and
    off.
