    1000 year old graver

    You obviously know a lot about the subject if you had this in your hand you would know it wasn't a point. My farm has sites from the late paleo 10750 years bp by the radio carbon dates thru the archaic and prairie farmers into the historic. I was lucky enough to be raised there and was able to...

    1000 year old graver

    1000 year old graver

    I do archaeology work in my spare time and found this in a site on my land. It is a graver from the prairie farmer period on the plains around 1000 years ago. This one is small probably for bone or antler art instead of rock art. People were engraving on my land way before me. Leland

    Odd "Home-brew" ball vise on ebay

    troutbox. I like the ball vice. Polishing metal is part of engraving now you have something to practice on,if you can make that shine a gun should be no problem. Leland

    My new antique engraving vise

    I have one like Sam's in his original post from 6 years ago. Archie your right the screw on the bottom has a ball on it. It raises the post to reduce friction. I call it my Monk vise because that's who I bought it from.

    grouse

    paps, what I see is the eye it needs work, and maybe more contrast where one feather lays over another. Finish this one then do the same grouse again using what you learned. Keep in mind I am just trying this too so I could be wrong. Leland

    better transfer prints

    Allan, instead of printing from the computer on to the transparency put your printed image on your copier then copy onto the transfer sheet. Like I said it may not help with the complex image your printing but it gives me much better transfer than printing directly onto transfer sheet from...

    better transfer prints

    Allan,I don't know if this will help but it easy to try. Sandy Popivich told me to print to paper then copy that to transfer sheet, I don't know why it works but I get much better transfers than direct printing. Good luck,Leland
