On the top band I used 28 gauge. For the other bands - I forgot (sorry).
I tried to match the gauge of the bottom original band as well as be thin enough to do a primitive form of repousse. Unfortunately I could not match the bottom band because it is thicker and cast silver. In some way I tried to match the rope motif from the bottom band to all the bands, including the top band.

Beautiful work as always Jose. Looking forward to seeing your next project.
Robert P.S. Showing pictures of the work in progress is one of the best ways to show your work skills and it adds a whole new depth to the thread. I can never remember to do this when doing any repairs myself, I can't even remember to take before and after shots most of the time. Last edited by Robert Coleman; 18th October 2012 at 08:31 PM. |
