    Hot Tip

    Here in the south we don't have to worry about that much. I remember Rex Pedersen recommending a heated floor mat to me for keeping warm feet while working. I said this is Louisiana...I need one that cools :)

    This happen to anybody else?

    My saddest engraving job was engraving Don Glaser's name on his cremation urn. It was an honor to do it for his family, but man it was tough.

The bezel had a couple of chips in it so I contacted my Rolex watchmaker friend who works for an authorized Rolex dealer. He told me the bronze Tudor is...

    Question before buying a grs airsystem

    There's nothing wrong with building your own tools if that's what you enjoy doing. For the rest of us, we want plug-and-play so we can get to work learning or doing engraving.

    Question before buying a grs airsystem

    Laser "engraved" Beretta

    I saw a 1911 at a gun show recently that made me do a double take. The top of the slide was fully "engraved" and even signed LDN. It was a copy of a Nimschke design and it was laser engraved. I posted it to Facebook and it was criticized and raked over the coals, but quite frankly, it looked...

    All things considered I think it looks pretty good. I wonder how deep it is.
