    taurus 44?

    Does anyone here have any experience engraving on taurus's generic 44 magnum revolver. I have only seen a few engraved but wanted to know what the stainless is like before I say yay or nay I know sometimes stainless works good and other times not so much but if anyone has anything thanks

    first wax seal

    I had been wanting to do one of these for a while but didn't want to ruin one but I was finally confident enough to give it a swing. This is my logo cut into a brass wax seal blank.

    for your entertainment ;)

    Apparently my phone is being weird on our little engraving spot and it thinks it can see into the future. Take note on the times of the notifications. Just thought I'd share

    any advice on engraving naa pistol?

    I'm wondering if maybe a has graver might have better luck on the chipping. The face is usually around 50-55 on my 120 and 105 but I know the steel on those guns can be a little inconsistent
