    Critique Request Laserjet transfer method practice engraving

    there's several books on creating pleasant design. also dvd disks. they all start you out in an easy way to work a design into a specific shape. well worth a few dollars to get on track.

    Critique Request Laserjet transfer method practice engraving

    Critique Request Just finished a S & W Model 629 Deluxe with a 3 inch barrel

    yours looks very nice. i must agree with dave. i did a s&w 44 mag early in my engraving attempts. half way thru i was stumped. i ended up talking with lynton mckenzie. he advized me to not do ss guns. needless to say, this experience taught me proper sharpening techniques.

    Buying and Selling Rules?

    all that i've ever seen has been tools. successful marketing of your work can be more challenging than the work itself. just relax, enjoy the journey. one day all will come together if one persists. diversification in what you engrave can be a help. buckles, jewelry. bracelets, love tokens...

    magnification

    when doing a job using the scope i frequently change from low to medium or even higher. depends on whether i'm cutting a relatively long line, or sneaking into a tiny corner on a hobo.

    scope angle

    i dont think a numerical angle exists. your bench, the scope, your chair, and all the goodies you commonly reach for will (or should) determine this "angle". to be situated in such a place must be done in comfort. one must think thru all this to work in comfort . sitting for 8 hours without...
