    Thanks for the thoughts it does have the motor and shaft. Given that the Co is outa business got a notion the outfit might be more of a headache than a useful tool.

    NgraveR worth owning?

But thinking I would like to try a power graver. At $200 it’s not a pile to try but also don’t want to...

    Old silver engraving

    Yeah. There were apparently real proud how much the new school cost. The handle of the spoon depicted the Nebr State Capital building who’s was before the current one prior one built in the 1930’s. Probably the equivalent to multi millions in today’s $.

    suggestions for my daughter

    I have never removed the rolled cylinder marks. I have found Italian makes better quality. Uberti has been the best I have found. In fact Uberti made the reproduction Colts. Not a fact Colt shares. I have engraved several brass framed revolvers of questionable parentage mainly because I got them...

    Knife project
