    The Walk A'Bout Pedestal

    JJ, ........"Those were the Days." We did what we had to do to make it work for us. Glad you made the second one so that you were not as bent over. That would get old in a hurry!

    The Walk A'Bout Pedestal

    This is a good and inexpensive way to engraver with hammer and chisel. It was part of my NRA class demos at Lassen and Trinidad colleges going back more than 30 years ago. At one time I posted pictures. Somewhere on the forum there should be pictures of my setup. And JJ said that he will post a...

    Question: How can I keep my new work space more quiet.

    I don't find that a small rawhide mallet changes the feel of engraving materially. Though I have no noise problem I use it often because I enjoy the change. But when inlaying I usually use a steel hammer and brass punch. Give a mallet and wood handle a try, it's a low cost/risk option.

    Question: How can I keep my new work space more quiet.

    If you want to continue engraving with hammer and chisel and reduce the noise mount your gravers in a hardwood handle and use a small rawhide mallet as your hammer. Much quieter than a steel hammer hitting a metal graver.

    Concerning the business of engraving.

    Jon, if you can, practice with a hammer and chisel to use at the shows. It is the sound of the hammer hitting the chisel that attracts the crowd. It's your draw power and calling card. Machines don't have that magic.

    Concerning the business of engraving.

    Hello Jon, and sorry to hear of your divorce and financial problems. I believe I read that you engrave with hammer and chisel and that is a strength in marketing. If you can attend a few decent gun shows this is a plan that worked for me and many of my students. Before the show, while at home...

    Need help identifying this mamouth, vintage vise.

    CORRECTION. Memory did not serve completely. I looked back on my records and find that I taught the classes at Trinidad in 1982. Mr. Lindenberg did take an engraving class from Neil Hartliep but it must have been some time before 1982. I was looking for Neil's class roster to be sure if it was...

    Need help identifying this mamouth, vintage vise.

    If memory serves........ I believe Mr. Lindenberg attended Neil Hartliep's engraving class in Trinidad, Colorado in 1982. Lindy was a talented gunsmith and an outstanding machinist.

    Question: Tira’s New Engraving machine

    I recently saw a demo of the electric machine by Chris De C on the internet. Can't remember if it was on Utube or Tira's site. But give both a try.

    Question: background removal vs placing cut peices of metal?

    patek. When I first saw your coin photo it appeared to have an unfinished inlay, not just a cavity. The photo now shows a pre-sculptured inlay being inserted into the cavity. i don't see any signs of an undercut perimeter or burr field to hold the inlay. Is it going to soldered into the coin or...
