Just copy and paste the links onto seperate lines. Don't even try to use the
hyperlink button. I think we can get them posted for you.

J.J.,
Thanks, but I tried that and out of 10 links I inserted in the comment, only one of them was contained in the final comment. This one:
http://www.blademag.com/article/silverwireinlaypartone/
I'll try a slightly different way of doing it, without numbering them as I did in the first try. Maybe it will work this time.

Just copy the URLs and include them into a message, and Dale or I will add them into the system. You can also sign up and add what you like.

Dale,
Here are some links to wire inlay information:
1.
2. http://www.blademag.com/article/silverwireinlaypartone/
3.
4.
5.
These links provide a wealth of information on the techniques, tools, and materials used in silver, brass and gold wire inlay. Square wire, rather than round wire, is used almost exclusively, and is sold by several suppliers on the Web. Here are some links to suppliers of square wire:
1.

4.
There are also eBay sellers who sell inlay wire at good prices.
The tools used are primarily a hammer or mallet and small chisels that can be purchased or made from old hacksaw blades, as described in one of the reference links above.
