    Cafe interview with Mitch Moschetti

    I agree about engraving as "stand alone" art not being considered by the general public is very frustrating. I gave my medical doctor a framed practice plate as an appreciation gift for accepting me and my wife as patients when his practice was closed to accepting new ones. He has now become a...

    What can I cut over on my rifle reciever ?

    I've used kerosene as a lubricant sometimes and it does okay, just really smelly. Tap-Majic works also.

    graver sharpening specifications

    I struggled for many, many years trying to get the right "point" for engraving, but it was only when I decided to really study the reasons for certain point geometry that I began to understand the why's and wherefore' s of it all. I'm still studying it, but until you understand the reasoning...

    Garage News: Borchardt underway

    I'm constantly amazed at the use of so many complimentary elements in your works, truly the work of a unique artisan. I have your book and keep looking for those elements when studying it but just seem to miss them. Love your work.

    Demagnetizer for tools

    Looks like I'll be ordering one from Micro-Mark. Its a lot easier and cleaner than wiping the stuck chips off on my shirt, and hearing the wife complain about little pieces of "stuff" in the washer.

    Thought so. I miss seeing the "old man." May have to make a special trip down east. Thanks.

    Colt Roadster

    I too admit to being "lost in the fifties," with American Graffiti being my all time favorite movie. My son is also "lost in time" with me, as he built a '38 Chevy coupe while in high school. He was the only one in his school with a cool car, which was in 1987. And, I'm in the final stages of...

    Colt Defender

    Great Mark, that he would trust you to engrave one of his guns. Is he someone I may know?

    Garage News: birds and more birds

    Looks like a self portrait Lee, and you did a masterful job of concealing the rust problem. If the "self portrait" was unintentional, it reminds me of a time I airbrushed a downhill skier on the back of a van ("Snowbound") and when my wife saw it her first comment was "why did you paint your...

    Lefty or Righty?

    I was in construction and certified in all types of welding, certified in fiber optics (when it was a brand new technology) and a certified high voltage cable splicer with the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) and worked on nuclear power plants all over the country, and then...

    Lefty or Righty?

    I know what you mean about welding! I had one welding job on a nuclear generating plant where I had to weld a bracket in place using a mirror, and it still had to be inspected and x-rayed.
