I like the, to me, the nightime image with the stylized star burst. It’s sort of like a setting for the owl where they hunt for food at night. The reflection in the eye, is that platinum? Could you share your grind angle on your graver for the fine shade lines please?
Thanks for posting your...
Nice work! Can you explain in some detail how and what did you use to do the transfer on the cylinder? Ink Jet or Laser? The white coating looks like white Dykem???
Thanks Richard
So here I am doing a bit of practice engraving and out of the blue I had the S&$# scared out of me. A little spider ran across my field of view in the scope, of course at 15x it looked like a large tarantula. It was good for a laugh.
Cheers Richard
It’s a single action revolver. Will be using a pneumated graver. A lot of the Ruger firearms are known for their very hard to engrave steel. Just thought that someone here could share their experience. Thanks Dani
I need to do a bit of engraving on one of these that I mentioned in the title. I have read they are hard steel and difficult to engrave. I wonder what a good alloy of the graver steel would be best to try. Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks Richard
I found this https://www.sculptingstudio.com/foot-pedal/. It’s made by Linemaster https://linemaster.com/product/13/Airval-Classic/3E-30A2-S/ who sells them for 95 bucks. I‘ll call Linemaster on Monday, order one and let you guys know if it’s a thumbs up or down.
