    Knife recommendation

    Good evening Pancho, looks sort of like you might want to inform your customer that his knife isn’t quite practical for engraving, maybe point him toward one with some metal showing already.

    Zippo Engraving set-up

Thermo-loc is fairly easy to use and can be reused many times. Smaller stainless steel plates hot glue works pretty...

    Announcement: Practice

    Looking good Gunsmith, definitely like the border and the four sides being pretty symmetrical to one another.

One of these was beautifully penned diary beginning near the civil war. Though the book is large it seemed abandoned after maybe 50 pages. The women who wrote of...

    sharpening..stones vs hones

    Good evening, I believe if your only wanting a few good gravers every now and then the the stones will be perfect for you. Also if your mostly doing softer metals a tungsten carbide graver will almost not dull at all, sure it takes a while to get one shaped but after that the template will...

    Antique Remington pistol

    JJ, it’s awesome seeing The older design choices. The larger leafs with more points draw the eye in for closer gander.

    What’s on your bench?

    Your shading quite nice. I really like your roll over on those long leafs they have a pop that really sets them into that third dimension.

    Sageoconnell, I really dig the way you fold the leaves between two backbones. Top left corner of the brass one very favorable to the eye.
