The Jeweler's Saw: Cutting Sheet Metal Inlays by Alan Gutchess

This booklet has been prepared to teach the basic techniques of creating sheet metal inlays with a jeweler's saw. Skilled use of this tool provides the ability to quickly and easily produce a variety of decorative and functional inlays for muzzleloading arms. Because you can work with patterns and materials that are not commercially available, the freedom to pursue more historically correct designs, or your own, is literally in your hands.

The material presented here is the culmination of many years of practice to find the most efficient ways of preparing and cutting inlays with a jeweler's saw. Most of the information was taught to me by my father, Gerald Gutchess. I hope you find it as valuable as I have.
