    Using bondo to hold work

    I like them both. Bondo was what we used before they came out with thermoloc. No reason not to use either one.

    Using bondo to hold work

    I just heat it up. the bondo becomes soft and will allow you to remove your work but it will leave some residue that is easily removed with acetone.

    does anybody know

    So what if it breaks?? Start over??? We used to grind the bottom out of some line gravers for getting around figures with out bumping into them but that gets expensive if you break it or screw up the retemper. The Cobra looks interesting to use but not easy to get properly ground,

    Who is this Engraver Winchester Model 12 1930s

    WP is Winchester Proof mark. If it is in an oval, it would be re barreled by Winchester or an approved gunsmith. A lot of guns were engraved in Japan post war. It looks like that even without the better photos, but they would help verify that.

    Graver or Scope?

    If you are in Perth, I would assume you might be acquainted with Bruce Barnett. He is a fine knife maker and has been known to take a stab at engraving. I believe he has a scope and GRS equipment. Look him up and maybe inquire as to giving it a go with good equipment to help you make up your mind.

    PulseGraver

    I have one. As with all of the different systems, it fills a niche. I haven't tried one that does it all yet. It does have many good features like speed control down to a single impact and a power range control that is pretty good too. I really like the collet system it has with indexable slots...

    Upgrade my current hone or go for GRS?

    It looks like it ought to be easy enough to add a flat surface to the platform on the current hone enough for the da fixture. As for the laps,I would not go to the expense of purchasing the expensive ones.
