    Common Gravers for scroll engraving

    I have "fat" hands and use a higher heel geometry so my fingers will clear the workpiece.

    Tips for signing your work

    When I use the "hidden monogram" as my signature I always give the owner of the piece a diagram of the location of the signature on a certified Certificate of Authenticity.

    Question: Teachers

    My bad! Somehow, I keep getting you two fellows mixed up; guess I'll need to attend more FEGA shows and etch your mugs into my mind permanently. Sorry for the mix-up.

    Question: Requesting advice. engraving on cerakote?

    I did this several years ago, requested by a very good friend/gunsmith for a client that wanted his father's shotgun refinished after a fire. The client understood it would be a simple tribute to his dad and would be Ceracoted quite thick to hide a lot of fire damage. I had to cut quite deep in...

    Question: Recommended resources for ornamental wood carving?

    I don't get involved with their model trains but have become hooked on their old sailing ship cut away sections and the scale rotary WWI radial engines! I don't need another hobby but switching to building a model from engraving takes my mind to a different level of stress!!!

    Tips for signing your work

    I used to sign my work around the edge of the piece but have since incorporated a hidden "monogram?" somewhere within a scroll. It is very small and my initials (WM) lend to it being able to adjust to any size within the design. Of course the customer will be shown where the signature is after...

    Compressor recommendations

    I went with the "silent" compressor from Lowe's only for the three year warranty with it being advertised at 60db. Not too bad in my new studio and if it gets too loud to deal with (hasn't so far) I just remove my hearing aids!

    Question: What 1911 to use as a canvas?

    I also use the Lysol TBC for removing bluing but haven't tried it to remove Parkerizing. Off hand I don't think it will remove Parkerizing but I've been known to be wrong before!

    Today's Egret Pic

    No, the alligator just submerged rather quickly, leaving the egret scrambling for air as he tried to get away!

    Today's Egret Pic

    The last time I saw one of these was when I lived in South Florida and one was perched on what I thought was an old log floating in the Miami Canal west of West Palm Beach. My son and I were paddling a 12 foot canoe in the canal fishing and when we passed by it at about 10 feet the log suddenly...

    INKS please

    I've been using the ink that came with it for about a year now, both for engraving transfers (of which I do little as I prefer drawing on the item directly) and for our home use and the black reservoir is still half full, plus I still have another full black tub that came with the printer. So...
