    Las Vegas…let the countdown begin

    Thank you all for your well wishes for a quick recovery; means a lot to me and Mrs. Mary. I'll be fine as my Great Creator takes care of me during this time. If He chooses to take me home early, then that's better (except for those left behind) I'll be spending eternity with those I love. In the...

    Las Vegas…let the countdown begin

    Unfortunately, I'll not be attending again this year-too many my health issues. I've lost 30 lbs in ten days and am losing blood in my system somewhere, just don't know where, so I'm confined to the house for a little while longer. This has also affected my engraving schedule. Will miss you guys!

    Question: No smudge solution

    On larger surfaces I use an airbrush to spray on Tom's solution. It gives me a more consistent coverage and saves a little of the solution in the process, then I spray cheap hair spray over it LIGHTLY.

    Cutting on concave surfaces

    Old engravers made their gravers themselves, bending the tips upwards to fit the curvature of the object being engraved, such as bowls or spoons. Search for these types on the internet and in the older engraving books and there are examples shown.

    please help

    Sorry to hear about your needing to relocate from your homeland to the USA but maybe it will benefit you in the future. I'm sure the language barrier will be overcome as we all have the ability to communicate, even if regimentally at times. Would love to see some examples of your work. I was on...

    Stepping up from practice plates

    And with the current political climate with BATFE you may just put yourself in their crosshairs for a "future anarchist" classification.

    One year of engraving

    Extremely well done! Ray is great teacher, and it shows you listened to him and applied his expertise correctly. Sometimes we artists are a little "set in our ways" and don't want to listen to our instructors.

    R.I.P. Ray Philips

    A sad notice indeed of Ray's passing. I don't remember the show where I met Ray, but the time spent with him I'll never forget. He explained to me in detail how to use his N-Graver-R and I bought one on the spot, with the drill, and still use it some today. I also won a logo punch there and he...

    In Search of Meek's Squirrel

    I have one (or SEVERAL) of those rascals and they take Meek's squirrel pose in my pear tree while they cut the fruit from the branches! My pear tree is about 20' tall and loaded with fruit but I've only had one to eat in the past three years because of them and the deer. I live in the middle of...
