    Need A Better Microscope!!!

I have a 5 inch Victor engraving ball with a leather bag ( enough sniggering the price was right )...

I can't tell you what they are cutting ;-) but I can say they don't want any steel cut till the end of there run. I may just buy some time...

    What's your favorite 1911 to engrave?

    I think the border is a good idea , it would tie in the center element , may be just a line under the ejection port. I think a 1911 will be the first gun I do , I have 2 GI slides left over form my gun building days. Hmmm May be I could get some 12ga sheet stock cut to the size and out line of...

    Question: Andu Engraver

    The worst tool to own is one that brakes when you need it most. Cheep tools sit in the tool box and make you think you can do the job.

With that said I wish I had a laser welder like the one I used at the lab. A good welder with the right machine under a microscope can cover an...
