    bulino attempts

    I was stuck in a hotel room last night so I tried to soften the fur and harden the horn. I like it better but have a long way to go.

    first try

    paps,keep it I have my first try around somewhere I'll post if I find it you could tell it was a dog but. The 2nd try I filed off should have kept it. Make your plates large enough to put 2 tries on each plate a side by side comparison can't hurt.

    bulino attempts

    John, thank you for your comments, I don't know where the shine is coming from on the deer antlers the plate does not look that way may be the camera angle. The lighter cutting was Sandy's suggestion too. I will try again. Paps thank you at this point I'm just glad you could tell it wasn't a...

    Which sharpening template?

    Kim, I don't know what size your round gravers are but you can grind a flat for indexing on your shank end. There are threads on this site that explain it.

    Harbor Freight Recommendation

    monk nailed it if you need tools for around the house for occasional use they are ok. The phrase you get what you pay for definitely applies.

    Knife steels engraveable?

    I don't know about the other steel on your list but 1095 doesn't even cut well on a lathe so engraving even when annealed might be frustrating. I make some of my chisels from 1095.

    Nickle Silver

    I do some nickel silver on longrifles what crazy horse said is true you never know how it will cut. Annealing first is your best bet. Monk suggested lube it helps I use a cotton ball with penetrating oil. Spray some oil on the ball and just touch the graver tip to it seems to help with the...

The local Menards had a sale last year on the California Air silent compressor 79 dollars for the 1.6 gal. model it works great.

    FAKE Nimschke

    JJ did you put the photos in full screen mode? You can see very good detail. What I mean is the Nimschke scrolls I have seen are very concentric and spiral in at least 3 times. I don't even pretend I know anything so enlighten me.

    FAKE Nimschke

    My question is this even Nimschke style scrolls? The scrolls I have seen by him are vastly different than these.

    A Tutorial on How to Draw for Beginners

    Andrew's post and Sam's drawing scrolls video should be required when starting out engraving. Sam's chapter on point errors is worth the price of the video.

    FAKE Nimschke

    Someone paid 21000 for a fake Nimschke and not even a well done fake. I guess PT Barnum was right.

    Colt single action

    Thank you all. I have repaired the timing so the bolt falls just outside the notch in the taper as Mike suggested. Then I spent the rest of the day making the back strap and trigger guard fit the frame like someone who cares assembled it. The bolt was ground on a 16 grit bench grinder and left...

    Colt single action

    My next project is a 3rd generation SAA. The customer intendeds to shoot it and asked if there was a way to engrave the cylinder so the drag marks are hidden,did not know what to tell him. I looked at all the engraved SAA I could find photos of either they were pristine and never shot or they...

    duplicate transfer tip

    monk the last batch I made I added some of sam's wax it made it just a touch softer than sam's. I think the firmer wax gives me a better line. Sam's wax works the way it is but my lighting is not that great the black works better for me.
