..Kev Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I noticed a scratch in a raking light today that wasn't acceptable. Will be a little longer as I sanded it out and reapplied lacquer. Sorry to those waiting for the gilding process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 What are you using for the gilding? Metal powder? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 What are you using for the gilding? Metal powder? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk It's like a super thin foil. It's super delicate. Here it is all on - A couple touch up spots to do but, overall, it turned out pretty good. I also started the process on the base.

..Kev Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Got all the gold put on the base - Time to let it cure before softening it up.. That should be it for today, time to let things cure a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is the drive to 1973 to deliver it? :) :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Man did you hit that nail on the head! If I ever see gold in my shop again it will be too soon! Sometimes we have client projects that are not to our liking! This would certainly not go well in my living room. Maybe in the disco room tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 This has been an interesting build, and the gilding really popped the table. Not my style, but well executed Kev! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
