    Laser "engraved" Beretta

Hey, for Twenty Thousand Dollars the least Beretta could have done is make some hand cuts to enhance...

    Laser "engraved" Beretta

    Five axis machines have been around for several decades. The Philadelphia Naval Ship Yard (PNSY) used one to machine submarine propellers in the 80's. Adding a laser to one isn't all the innovative. The "engraving is what one might call static. It appears to lack life. In fact, it's flat...

    Ken Hurst

    Mr. ken was always willing to teach his art to anyone who had the time. A gifted engraver to say the least. Here is a photo of one of his Colt's I photographed at the first engravers gathering he held at his home in N. Carolina.

    You've got a lot of time into that work. Lots of heavy relief work, and that Mexican eagle looks great. How long did it take you to complete?

    Blackening engravings

    I would suggest that before applying the Rustoleum you wipe the engraving with some acetone to get rid of any oils that may be present. The Rustoleum will adhere much better with that treatment. That procedure also works well with gun blue on non-ferus metals.

    Help, please: hand push engraving

    There should, (must) be a jeweler somewhere in Jerusalem. I would seek him out and ask him for a few minutes of his time to show you some of his push tools and maybe give you some advice on how to sharpen. There is NO absolute method of sharpening for push engraving. There are "standards" that...

    Buff files?

    I've simply wrapped various fine grades of emery around a toolmakers file and it works just fine. I suppose if you're working strictly on gold and silver these tool may have an advantage, but emery wrapped around a file works very well.
