    Question: The problem of dividing section by a divider

    That sounds way too easy! Wish I had thought of it, I tend to make things too complicated when a simple solution is there for the taking with just a little forethought.

    Question: The problem of dividing section by a divider

    Roger, I have the set of "segmented" circles like the one posted here only the entire set, divided into many different sections. When I get back home I'll try and locate it and post it. I may be off a little, but I think it was listed on this forum way back when.

    Engraving bronze

    My experience with bronze is it is very porous. When I TIG welded it it was always producing "open" puddles, but I've not tried engraving any.

    Amazing, as always. Don't know how you do it, but you seem to get better with every project.

    I hate lettering

    I learned to write cursive when in the fifth grade, spending a lot of time with exercises as well as actually writing letters, so I love lettering. When doing lettering jobs, I always lay it out as perfectly as possible, then engrave it upside down and backwards in order to keep my mind from...

    Honest Question

    As a certified "old fart" I find myself totally lost in the new generation. I was at the dr's office the other day and a young couple had their two year old daughter with them, and their daughter had her own child sized iPhone which she was operating very efficiently. I can't even figure out how...

    Ruger

    I also read somewhere, probably here, to place the red hot part into a chunk of beeswax and let it cool naturally. I think a toilet bowl ring was used.

    Ruger

    Forgive my asking as I should know this, but how did you anneal the gate and regarded it? I have a small toaster oven in the studio and I'm wondering if that would do the job. After it posted I noticed it quoted the wrong one, it was intended for JJ's post on annealing.

    Returning from semi-retirement

    Yes, I'm with both of you guys with social media, don't go there often. One of the downsides is we no longer have a forum on the FEGA website. It has been completely removed due to inactivity. I wonder how many here noticed.

    Concerning the business of engraving.

    My start many years ago was cutting polished sidecutters on the construction site, the folks started bringing me their Buck 110's or similar Gerber folding hunters where I engraved the bolsters. I admit it was very crude in the early days, but they did actually pay for them. I never did anything...

    finish's

    I also use Lysol toilet bowl cleaner, rinse with plenty of warm water, dry or blow off the water then apply a liberal dose of a water displacement fluid such as WD-40. Then use Renaissance Wax for protection if it will be a while before working on it. Be careful of Chinese White for laying out...

    Benches and studios

    I set mine in a cardboard box, surrounding everything except the front. I don't use it that often, but if I'm sharpening a lot of gravers I sometimes get a little dirt on the front of my tee shirt.....wife keeps reminding me I HAVE AN APRON! ( I apologize for the loud words, but that's what she...

    Red tail hawk

    Very good looking bird. Maybe a little more feather detail on the body and make the back leg smaller, appearing behind the nearer leg.

    lettering questions.

    Why not try the good old-fashioned way, draw it out on paper and rub it in with acetone?

    I'm assuming you guys (and gals) have a sense of humor...

    Thought I was looking in a mirror.......kinda get that way sometimes when forgetting the time!
