    Big air

    John, Keep the classics on the small compressor, the air hogs on the shop system, but throw in some extra valves (or quick connects) so you can run anything from either source.

    Procreate

    Start with a drawing of original size - a tracing, pencil rub over paper, scanning on a flat-bed printer scanner, or making a smoke pull to get the outline of your subject. A direct scan on a Wi-Fi scanner - direct to your iPad is simple, right into Procreate. Smoke pulls are usually what I...

    It is sad to hear of Rod's passing, but I must say remembering him brings a smile to my face. It was always a joy to visit with him at FEGA. Rest in Peace!

    Colt Mk IV Series 80 Stainless Series???

    Travis, I have fully engraved a Colt MK IV Series 80 in stainless steel. I do not recommend it. I spent more time sharpening than cutting. The gun seemed to be uniform in hardness. It is possible to engrave, but the hardness takes nearly every ounce of fun out of the cutting.

    FEGA show wrap up

    Lee did not mention that his fine engraving was also the recipient of several awards including the "Best Engraved Shotgun" and "Best Engraved Modern gun" , and that he gave a seminar on shading engraving entitled "Only the Shadow Knows" that was very informative. Congratulations and thank you Lee!

    Limestone morning glory garland

    For the man who has everything...

    You would think it would at the least have "Purdey" painted on the door. If I am going to be a snob, I want the "common man" to see what brand of possessions I have (They probably won't know the name and definitely not the "star-burst" emblem anyway). Of course you could add that, along with...

    removing info on guns

    The laws I am familiar with only are concerned with the serial number not being altered (this could be interpreted as saying we could not inlay a S/N with gold, (hopefully common sense and sensible reasoning prevail)). My interpretation (and many others) is that all other information can be...

    3d printing a little workbench organization

    John B ask- "But I am unfamiliar with the green block in the background of your photograph. Am I correct to assume it is something available from machine shop suppliers? What is it called and who makes it. please?" I can get a lot in a little space with these from Gesswein -...
