    P&V Eagle Design

    Not who you asked but the second from the left looks best proportioned to my eye. The cat looks just the right size in relation to the prey.

    A NICKEL FOR YOUR THOUGHTS...

    Well you did great work, I'm a sucker for myths as well, so doubly pleased. How many hours would you say you have in all the sculpting?

    A NICKEL FOR YOUR THOUGHTS...

    Of course! You got some amazing depth out of this one. Is this a composite piece? Or was it engraved as a single coin?

    Polishing after engraving

    [/QUOTE I've removed numerous dents from propeller spinner and leading edges on airplane using using just a ball peen hammer and some wheel bearing grease. Not going to lie, seeing that might make me a wee bit nervous to be flying with you Sir! ;)

    I hate lettering

    That makes a world of sense, you aren't cutting a letter, you are cutting a collection of cuts....

    Honest Question

    For what my admittedly neophyte opinion is worth I believe we might still see art guns, just more in the vein of TSterling sculpture/Netsuke type graving rather than the traditional double rifle with english scroll. With companies like Henry putting out single shots, and Stoeger selling...

    It can be done but it takes FARRR longer than just using a flat graver. Use a bigger burr to remove the bulk of material, then switch over to a pointed cone and try to use the "Side" of it to flatten the tops of the mounds left by the burr. Then when things are relatively flat, texture the...

    I think your coming along well considering the tool your using. I've got a NSK presto myself and love it for wood and bone and for removing background. But with any rotary tool it's going to be difficult to get precise cuts like you can with a graver. It would most certainly be enlightening for...

    Has kind of a polynesian feel to it, unconventional but beautifully done Sir!

    Embossing Die Steel

    Annealed should be doable but of course the mild will cut easier with less wear on tools. Why not copperplate? I admit to having never done printing but it seems it would be easier than both you mentioned.

    Embossing Die Steel

    Is the 4140 prehard or annealed? Because the only experience I have is machining the prehard and it was not a fun.(could also have been the skillset of the operator....)

    Building your own vise?

    Grizzley is foreign made I'll grant you that, but they have several factors here in the states who put quite a few Americans to work. The owner is also super active in the shooting world and is a really decent guy. It's not as cut and dry as only buy American. Most of us wouldn't even be on...
