    Digital Microscope camera or Stereo microscope

    Finishing question

    There is French Gray, Parkerizing, various plating and also coin finish. Coin Finish can be achieved by first color case hardening and then removing the color. Many English shotguns are coin finished and appear to have been left in the white. As Sam W. says Renaissance wax does a good job. I...

    Very nicely done. Good design and your shading is remarkable for early days. You will be much sought after as a sole author knifemaker/engraver I think.

    Garage News: birds and more birds

    Wow Mr. Lee, that's fantastically beautiful and dramatic. The garage has been busy! I notice a shadow behind the center birds neck. Does the neck stand out far enough to actually throw a shadow? Or is the shadow engraved? Did you go over some of the lower scrolls with ink to strengthen the...

    Foley-Belsaw Power Hone?

    I have 3 hones and one of mine is also a Foley-Belsaw. My other two are GRS labeled. Like you I believe it was GRS made or made by the company that made them for GRS.
