First job with new PalmControl
I just got my old Classic converted to a PalmControl and tried it out on a job for my wife's nursing instructor. She saw a western brightcut bracelet I did a few weeks ago for my wife and sent Sweetie (that's my wife) home with a set of ear rings and 2 pendants for me to do whatever I wanted on.
The ear rings were sterling but the pendant was some kind of silver plated copper with a clear coat on it. I like the two toned effect but after I finished and went to the buffer I discovered a spot between the bird and the flower. I have some silver plating solution and tried to do the whole thing but no luck. I went back to the buffer with some Fabulustre and took all of whatever that crap was off it so it's all the same finish now. All those cuts will be bright once I clean all the Flits polish out in the ultrasonic. I used a mirror polished graver on them; about a 110 or 120.

Re: First job with new PalmControl
I don't have enough room left to post them here so here's a link.
http://groups.msn.com/HandEngravers/...iceplates.msnw It was the curved one I believe that she had on that day, I've made several different styles as samples for a jewelry store. She tried them all out by wearing them to school...
