I'm 71 and on SS along with three other small pensions so I don't need to engrave for a living, but it sure is nice to be compensated for your talent and time. Unfortunately, I live in "Mayberry RFD" and an especially poor city and county, as almost ALL industry has left. The population has...
I made mine from a basic black bowling ball and a machinists vise sitting on a small lawnmower tire back in the mid eighties. Wish I still had it just for memories.
I'll look through my tapes and see where they are. I'm partially disabled and have trouble climbing the stairs to my studio but the next time I'm up there I'll find them. Sorry for the delay.
I have all his tapes and I think I transferred them to CD years ago. I'll look and see what I have and respond here whenever get the chance. I want to keep the originals though for sentimental reasons.
I have a separate bedroom upstairs for my studio and library, about 12'x14', plus another bedroom (14'x18') where I keep my modeling stuff and gunsmith equipment. There is still one bedroom available for anyone visiting.
I knew there was a pattern for the spots but had never seen the technique to determine their spacing. Thanks for the info. Also, the layout and artistry is superb.

I know about life getting in the way, as I've missed more than my share of the Engrave-Ins due to health issues popping up, but I am committed this year. Sometimes we just have to bite the bullett and do it. Hope to see you there this year and I'm sure all those present would love to meet you...
