They received recognition in the Howard Dove voting and will be taking a pony home as a result of their outstanding engraving. Maybe they will see this and post pics of the pieces. Well done my friends...

    Garage News: Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This farm boy is at the end of his intended writings. If I have offended I apologize. My intention was actually quite selfish. I wanted to remind myself of all the good in my life and in spite of a world filled with anger and despair there is much to be grateful for...

    Garage News: Day Five Gratitude

    Well what is the old hairy guy going to say today? I will start by saying my intent was to have a week of gratitude posts- seven days- but like every good procrastinator I started one day late so it will be six days and now it is day five. It's time to zero in on the most important things. Today...

    Garage News: Day Three Gratitude

    Today's gratitude is a story. Years ago I was driving to Emporia Kansas to teach a class for GRS/Glendo. It's a long trip 20 hours in a car and it crosses some of the most boring roads in the universe-southern Wyoming from Rock Springs to Laramie. The highlight of that stretch is usually a hawk...

    Today I am grateful for mankind- our diversity and progress. Throughout my 62 years I have enjoyed the company and association of people from different races, religions, political viewpoints, gender attraction, and much more.

    Garage New: day two gratitude

    The sun is coming up and soon it will be above the mountains giving us light and warmth. I'm grateful for the beauty it brings. The contrast of light and shade and how it changes as the sun moves across the sky. I'm grateful for how it chases frost from the ground, sparkles on icicles, glitters...

    Garage News: Thanksgiving

    John, you are dear in my memory. You were so kind and helpful the first FEGA show I attended. I asked a few questions regarding gold/ silver inlay and you graciously explained your process. I knew nothing about that technique along with most other things engraving related- a complete beginner. A...

    Garage News: Thanksgiving

    I'm going to get a jumpstart on Thanksgiving by beginning a gratitude thread. There is a lot of unpleasantness in the world- anger, contention, racism, misunderstandings, victimization, and discrimination to name a few. Nevertheless, if we look around there is much to be grateful for. Today I...

    Garage News: English scroll and paint

    Forgot the paint portion. I started these two paintings about five years ago and never finished them. I’m taking a short break from engraving to relax, refresh, and finish these two.

    Garage News: English scroll and paint

    I just finished this Martini Cadet. I am not asked to do English scroll very often and hope I am reasonably close. For my British friends who are appalled at this effort, feel free to put my picture on your dart board and have at it. I probably deserve it.
