    Question: Requesting advice. engraving on cerakote?

    Contact Cerakote for advise. And also get a liability release in writing from your friend before cutting. Even then, do a small test cut under the grips.

    Beautiful carving of a wonderful creature. Looks like my last weimer, Prince. And a great picture of the puppy, Matthew. Enjoy those puppy kisses.

    Drill press base

    As Papart said, a bench model can do the job. I used a Sears Craftsman 14 inch floor model drill press and modified the column to hold the scope mount's vertical column. Works well for me.

    Scope advice

    The first scope I had was a B&L, a good American scope. Mine had threads for the Barlow lens but Monks suggestion will work. B&L made some good products. Best of luck with your scope.

    Critique Request Thoughts on this scroll

    Good try, but do what Sam said. Slow down a little and draw left and right hand scroll backbones. Also practice drawing the outline shapes of your leaf elements. With practice your muscle memory will develop and thing will get smoother and easier.

    Critique Request Drawing for practice plate

    A good start. Don't like the sanding marks though! I would suggest a little lighter hand on the shading. And closer spacing. Not enough difference between your main and shading cuts. Good effort, correct things and do it again please. I believe you will like the results of your work.

    Critique Request Drawing for practice plate

    Looks good and nice shading. Well done. Cut it. Then do it again. But next time move the central scroll a little to the left. And revise the secondary scrolls and outside work to suit. See which version you like best. All great practice and design experience.

    Rusty, If you put your general location in your Cafe bio there might be an engraver in your area that would invite you to try out their engraving vise for size.
