Members CitizenKate Posted January 28, 2009 Members Report Posted January 28, 2009 ... I sharpened a single buckstitch punch and used it kinda like a beveler...wasnt all that bad with that it just took awhile Really? Huh... I'm going to have to try that. I have to admit, when I saw the title of your topic, I expected to click on it and see a bunch of chewed-up looking edges, but that is nice and clean. Congratulations on a great piece. Thanks for posting. Kate Quote

Elton Joorisity Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Looks great!! Just thought I'd throw a little tip out for people to try. Go buy a bunch of various sized Craftool veiners (preferrably with no scallops on the inside) Now sharpen them up...yes I mean grind them til they no longer look like stamps... they make great filigree punches!! I have been using mine for as long as I have been doing filigree. Along with different sized drive punches and the exacto for tight corners filigree becomes twice as fast if not faster.

Members CygnusX1 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Report Posted January 30, 2009 VERY NICE! I have been planning my first filligree project. But the one thing that I have been wondering about is the the application of the glue. I have always applied Barge to both pieces that are to be glued, wait, then place the two together. But, with filligree, there is the issue of alignment so that the glue on the background piece does not end up in the wrong place. Do you not worry about placing the glue on the background piece and just glue them together anyway. I have a feeling that I am over analizing how to do this. Thanks for any responces. Quote
