    Newbie Vise question

    My 0.02 cents are that I found myself doing this very same thing with the very same vise when I started and asked the very same question.

    Engrave-ability of Beretta 692 ?

    Actually I'd start with the factory Beretta USA, I think they moved to Virginia I'm not sure now they used to be in Accokeek Maryland they do have a website with the phone numbers. The Reps probably won't know the hardness or the distributors. You need to talk to someone in the service...

    Demagnetizer for tools

    I made mine from an old-style soldering gun, (you know the old black one the kind of look like a pistol) that i found at a garage sale. I replaced the soldering tip with some 10-gauge wire formed into a coil about two inches long. Cost $6. 00 US. Skill comes from diligence.

    Engraving (H&C) of Gibson guitar

    What a great job you have done with a classic guitar. Thank you for showing the progression of work.

    Rehab

    Yesterday afternoon after my last post on the café, I went downstairs to my studio and sharpened a new graver. I just missed being in my studio and said what the hell and turned on the compressor and tried to cut a straight-line. The simple act holding the 901 handset was an incredible...

He did have to put a few extra screws in as the C-3 was in bad shape, I may have waited too long. So, from now on if someone tells me I have a screw loose...
