    Need help

    I don't think that the new line of printers use 62 ink. I asked and staples when I purchased new one if they had one that uses 62. They do carry the ink but not printers that use it. You know how quickly things become obsolete.

    Need help

    I think I know what the issue is. The ink is most likely a nonsmear ink that is used for photos. Does anyone out there use an HP Envy 7155 successfully.

    Need help

    My printer quit. I was using an HP Envy 5540 that used 62 ink. Printing on Pictorico transparency and the transfers were fine. The old one was just finished. I needed a new one. I just set up a new HP Envy 7155 that uses 64 ink. I printed a transfer to try and not one spot of the ink...

    Original Art all the time or transfers sometimes too?

    I use original art. I draw on paper at 250%. This allows me to continually edit the drawing. Then I scan it into Adobe Illustrator and transform it into a vectored drawing. Reduce it to the correct size and then print a transfer. When doing western bright cut I draw directly on the silver.

    Henry Big Boy

    I guess I should mention that my gunsmith is retired. He has scaled back his work. I disassemble the gun and he will remove a barrel while I wait. The charge is minimal. He also is a long time friend. I am very lucky to have this situation.

    If you are not confident about removing the barrel, do what I do take it to a competent gunsmith. Check this for engraving. http://gunengraving.org/engravablity.shtml

    Name of gunsmith

    The 1885 Winchester I have was relined and restored. It was good work and the case coloring is nice. That is all I can say.

    Name of gunsmith

    Does anyone recall the name of a gunsmith that worked in California and signed his work J J P. I think it was in the 1970's.

    SP101 Engravability

    There is a Firearms Engravability Index on the web, I didn't see the SP101 listed. http://gunengraving.org/engravablity.shtml It would be good if engravers of firearms updated this list.

    Avoiding oxidation/rust on mild steels

    When I apply Renaissance wax I thin it with lighter fluid. It is thick it will build up and doesn't rub out well. By thinning it, you can put a thin coat on the object and it will rub out to a high polish. If this is something like western bright cut it could build up in the cuts though.

    Introduction & Gravermeister question

    I am using a Gravermeister I purchased in 1975. It was updated with a unit to increase the strokes, and the belts have been replaced. The filters need to be replaced if working in a dusty area. Still running as it did 45 years ago.

    Bulldozer

    Thanks Adder. I hear I forget, I see I remember, I do I understand. The link Adder shows above gives a very clear picture of how the bulldozer is sharpened. To me it looks very difficult to do by hand. and a fixture is necessary to do it correctly.

    Bulldozer

    Is there a video or diagram or something that shows how to sharpen the bulldozer? I understand what is meant by dubbing the point when using carbide graver; but is this something different?

    Method of engraving Old English

    The height of the letters for this type of test should be related to the width of the broad vertical stroke. When using a pen to make the letters the lower case letters should be as high as five pen widths, the upper case letters should be seven pen widths. When you write these letters with a...

    SAA Work Holding Question

    I made my own by having a friend turn two brass cones with a hole in the center. I place a brass through the hole to hold the barrel. Steel rods were drilled to accept the brass rod they fit in the vice. The same idea is used for the frame except there is a flat brass piece that fits in the...

    Question: Throwback to an old thread

    I have heard that listening to Mozart can stimulate creativity. There has been a study that shows that people can improve their math scores by listening to Mozart. I don't know if this is true or not.
