    Garage News: birds and more birds

    Wow Mr. Lee, that's fantastically beautiful and dramatic. The garage has been busy! I notice a shadow behind the center birds neck. Does the neck stand out far enough to actually throw a shadow? Or is the shadow engraved? Did you go over some of the lower scrolls with ink to strengthen the...

    Foley-Belsaw Power Hone?

    I have 3 hones and one of mine is also a Foley-Belsaw. My other two are GRS labeled. Like you I believe it was GRS made or made by the company that made them for GRS. The Foley-Belsaw had a slightly dished lap for sharpening radius clippers when I bought it used. It also had a hole in the flat...

    Question: PM's

    Is anyone else having problems with PM's within the Buy Sell section? I made an offer to buy a book from S. Didyoung. His message to me said that he had sent me an invoice. But none received. My two PM's to him through this forum came back saying it was a No Reply site. Is this a bug with the...

    Liners of O1

    Two line Liners have a ton of uses in layout, lettering and detailing. And if you can't buy them they are easy to make, as Sam said. Or you can fabricate them by carefully stoning down a wider Liner that has the desired line pitch.

    FULL coverage 1911

    What solution and how do you apply your electroless nickel please. Would appreciate hearing about your methods if you don't mind sharing. I have done a lot of pen plating and pen nickle undercoat plating but no electroless nickel.

    Liners of O1

    Another tid-bit about liners. Old time engraving "Law" said that an odd number of lines made the best tools. 3-5 or 7 lines were highly favored. And I must say that superstition or not I like them best. Our bright cutters are the biggest and most expert users of liners in this day and age. Would...
