    Inkjet printer for pigment black ink

    I use a HP 1001nw never stop printer. Got it at Best Buy for like 175$ and still running off the starter cartridge. Gets pretty great transfer results with acetone. Here’s an example of a pretty average transfer. Gets a bit dark in the shaded areas. Just looked it up and now they run for 350$...

    Help, please: Wild Heerbrugg M3B Stereo Microscope

    Does anyone by some miracle know where I can find a .5 objective lens (also known as a barlow lens) for a Wild Heerbrugg M3B Stereo Microscope. Or what mm objective lens size the m3b uses? I see plenty of listings on eBay for wild objective lenses but they don’t say what model they fit. Are the...

    Corrosion Basics for Gunsmiths

    I’m surprised this wasn’t already known by the gun community. Cross contamination between metals has been well knows in certain industries like aerospace and welding fields which use stainless and other alloys. I’m an aerospace welder and primarily we use nickel and cobalt base alloys. If we use...

    Allen, thanks for lending the keen eye! I hadn’t noticed until now that scroll above the dust cover, seems obvious now that it’s been pointed out. I’ll have a go at reworking this section to make it flow better with the rest of the design. At times while drawing I feel the design is more just...

    Thanks for the input! I fully agree with you on the balance. I had not designed anything yet for the small section behind the serrations. I plan to do full coverage on this gun including the frame. This design is sort of a work in progress to get input on how it’s going overall since I’m pretty...

    Ya it is a bit out of proportion compared to the rest huh? I’ll work one in to break up that long stretch Sometimes you stare at something so long you get blinded by the obvious! Thanks for the tip!

    Thanks! I’ll make a necklace pendant out of the practice piece for my wife. Just ordered the bail of rio grande.

    Thanks for the insight, that’s something I’m still figuring out. Most items I make are for my wife, myself or close friends. As for if i feel I’m adding value… I never quite think I’m there. Some items serve as a time capsule for me. Something to look back upon to see my progress. I will keep...

    Did a test cut on a 1 inch diameter sterling silver pendant. The watch face is larger so I will be able to add more detail and shading.

    I think I like it better this way what do you think? I also moved it to a new watch with a slightly larger dial face. Decided if I’m going to engrave a watch I should do it on a new nicer one vs a beat up old one.

    I hadn’t thought of that! Let me flip the design and see how that looks. I like the idea though. Thanks!

    Here’s the drawing on the watch face I plan to engrave. Just a cheap tissot every time quartz. I have the watch already so I figure it’s good for practice. I’ll need to make a new metal dial face to engrave though which shouldn’t be a big issue on the lathe. I’ll have about 1.25 inches in...
