Okay Rex:

    You say you cut a "campher" in the inlay channel?  Exactly what
    do you mean?  Is that making the channel wider at bottom and
    hammering the inlay piece into the recess?  Also, how do you
    finish the platinum inlay after hammering it?  I find it very
    difficult as the platinum is so much harder.  I like the idea
    however, as I have experienced problems with pitting and
    distortion when soldering the inlays in.  Never looks
    satisfactory, and as mentioned before, I never could finish it
    properly. I have seen your posts on several topics and appreciate
    all your time in helping all who ask.  That's what makes Orchid
    work as well as it does. 

Many thanks;

Steve
