    I hate lettering

    Ruger

    The loading gate does not need to be hardened but the cam at the bottom that is against the spring does. I clamp that part in a heavy vise and heat the top of the gate to just starting to get red then just let it cool in the vise. The vise acts as a heat sink and keeps the cam cool enough it...

    Returning from semi-retirement

    Brian. I for one missed your irreverent sense of humor. I am afraid this is not as active a place as it was when you left. I hear people left for facebook since I stay away from anti social media I will stay here. Welcome back Leland

    Concerning the business of engraving.

    Jonathan, this is all great advice wish I had that starting out. John B's comment on H&C drawing a crowd is spot on, I do H&C at national muzzle loading rendezvous events.The first time I had not even thought of that ,camps were scattered for a mile up and down the valley in the 3 days I was...

    The Walk A'Bout Pedestal

    JJ, I like it I have been trying different ways to do this without a permanent fixture in the middle of the shop. Do you have any idea how much it weighs? How many ball vises do you have in your shop? I can see several in the photo.

    1000 year old graver
