    R.I.P. Ken Hurst

    I agree Mark, those times at both his home and at the Bain's home were remarkable and fun filled. Ken had some good stories and I really miss those times. Too bad it was usually held Mother's Day weekend or there may have been more in attendance.

    R.I.P. Ken Hurst

    At one time I had a Ruger Blackhawk with "HURST" stamped on it, and when I got to know Ken a little better, I showed it to him and asked if he did it. He looked kind of embarrassed and said it was done at his shop by one of his employees and the stamp was the shop stamp. Because it was not done...

    Help, please: As per Sam Alfano I’m looking for some advice from Mark Sedlak on dentists rotary tools, or anyone else...

    I bought a dentist's rotary tool (Russian made) many years ago and it works well enough for me, although it has very little torque. I use it for background removal and don't need the torque as the possibility of a mistake scares the dickins out of me, so I'm extremely careful during use.

    Looks to me like the large scrolls are incomplete, too much negative space, IMHO.

    Spectacular Belt Buckles...

    A friend will be making that trek this summer, just climbing to the base camp. I'll ask him to concentrate on the belt buckles and bring one back if they're fairly reasonable.

    Question: Gold Background

    I have several old books (some I can't read, another language) but the pictures of guns back in the 15-16th century speak for themselves.

    Work holding with Cerro Safe type alloys.

    My son, when quite young, was trying to be helpful when I was working in the attic wiring a light fixture and decided I shouldn't be working in the dark, so he turned on the light switch. I'll have to say, there was light!...but only for an instant. I knew I should have turned the circuit off.

    Browning O/U side one

    I know what you mean, being in "the zone" and not wanting to interfere with the process. I have a lot of respect for those that can manage disrupting their work to document the process for the rest of us to learn from. Can't manage that myself.

    Work holding with Cerro Safe type alloys.

    Yep, I used to do that also, would freak out my wife, but when you understand what you're working with, it isn't all that bad. I was working on a live circuit and didn't want to walk all the way to the breaker box and thought I would just short circuit it to blow the breaker. Wrong! It welded my...

    Browning O/U side one

    Your work always amazes me and you are truly a worldwide Master of the engraving art. A question: have you taken any progress pictures along the way and have you thought of documenting some of your projects? I, for one, am very interested in how your work progresses.
