a quesrion of inlay material

[DaveK]

Tracking down an actual PCB and cutting it into
inlay sized pieces - $100

Putting gold colored elements that emulate the look
of a PCB onto an inlay sized piece of Mallacite - $200

Using today's technology to 'capture' a hi-res picture
<digital camera, downloaded jpeg, etc...>of a PCB and
published on a sturdy substrate and bonded to a robust
inlay sized piec of plastic - priceless

for everything else there's master...Dale

Using today's technology

OK Dale, let's go with that first option, but send me your mailing address and $50 and in return I'll ship you 20 inlay sized pieces of PCB thereby saving you time and cuttin' ... you don't want a reasonable facsimile of a PCB, you want the real McCoy ... and I want 50%

You know what would make an interesting inlay (under a window), the core of an EEPROM chip. They are about 0.300" square and rather lovely to look at (kinda holographic). If you want to see what I'm yammering about, check this page for close-up photos :

If you want to try this, let me know and I'll send you a few. I have a few hundred 'surplus' eeproms that do not work anymore (grumble grumble wasted my stinking time yet again), so I have no idea why I'm keeping them other than to give away to cuemakers

Here's a machine for the job.

Crap Joey you got big enough steppers on that machine?? Only cutting plastic and wood.

Not mine.
That's a pcb miller by someone.
