do a search on intaglio metal insert. Basically the area you want to place your insert in is routed out, the edges of this shape are undercut.. the area to be covered scored with undercuts. The brass shape is then placed in to the cavity then forged to fit. Inlay is expanded sideways to fit. becoming a mechanical bond. the insert needs to thicker than the cavity it goes in. Hope this helps. Just one traditional way. Italian technique. Orchid may have a
lesson ? Undercuts can be done with a graver but a burr on a flex shaft might be easier. Hope this helps Brad
