An article in the Financial Times:

It seems that there is renewed interest for the crafts.

The pop-up on the site keeps me from getting to the engraving article, and all I see is something about Bob Marley.

same here. it gives a quick glimpse of the desired article, a paywall pop-up appears, but when i close that it goes to a Bob Marley piece and can't find a link to the one i wanted.

I know that it is a little annoying but to see it is necessary to be registered. If you look with attention, there is a free option for 8 articles per month.
Jonathan Foyle, who, I believe, is historian of fine arts, wrote a beautiful article not only on my workshop but more especially on the trade of engraver and its history in Belgium and the difficulty of transmitting in our time.
The series must continue with other craftsmen.
I believe that it is a good initiative on behalf of the FT newspaper and the proof of this new interest for our trade.

This is absolutely great Alain! Good to see that hard work and absolutely world class work gets the attention it deserves! This is not only fantastic for the Belgian engravers but for all engravers world wide who are doing the top quality work!

Bravo, my friend. You have always been one of my favorite engravers. A wonderful article and well deserved.

While it takes a little time to register and get through to the article, it is worth it to read about a great master of out art. I am always glad to see a non gun or knife publication write about one of our own. If you read the article, I suggest you leave a positive comment to indicate to the Times that it was worthwhile to write on this subject.

Thank you for your kind comments.
I will send them to the writer Jonathan Foyle, I am sure that he will be happy to get a feedback

Fantastic article, Alain! Very well worth registering. And I'm happy to see you posting here in the Cafe. Good to see you my friend.

Hello Sam, I am happy that you have appreciated this article.

I am sorry not to have more time to post on the forum but I have really too much work in the workshop.
I am finishing the engraving in an unusual Mozarabic style on a pair of bolt action rifles. I will try to post some photographs before the end of this year.
