I feel quite talented but not in that type of work, you sir have my full respect! Nicely done.

The difference is I can teach just about anyone to be a good machinist. In a thousand years you could not teach me to a an artist.Originally Posted by 458mag

Wise man.
I'm a technician, not an artist. I'm a great photographer, if you need technical photos. Artistic photos? Nope, not me. Various forms of metalwork? Not exactly a ham-handed butcher, but not really a craftsman, even. Getting better, though. Woodwork? HHB, definitely. Or rough carpenter. Very rough. I can do a reasonably good stick figure. For certain values of good, anyway. It sufficed when I was drawing for elementary school students, anyway. Actually draw a picture? Nope. In a family of artists of various sorts, I am the only one who cannot sculpt, paint, sketch, or draw. I can play a tape recorder, and that's about the limits of my musical ability, too. If I have an artistic bone in my body, it's too small to see. I do OK making and fixing stuff, though. And I'm not gonna give up until they nail the box shut. Fortunately, I'm surrounded by artists, so I get to see good art every day.
How could you forget you’re engraving a revolver?
When I made the post I used the# caracter for the word number. My engraving projects are numerous and hard to keep up with. That being said, I am getting to the age where ..........I forget
Most folks see a firearm as rifle, pistol, shotgun, ect.... I see a canvas.
How bout this one. Its one of my favorite works

I am no expert in judging engraving work but those look very nice. Is that revolver your most elaborate attempt so far.
This is a great thread in the making.
I would have to look back into my files but that is about the extent as far as coverage. Don't like to risk getting to gaudy.

Beautiful work. Spent too many years working with my hands. And my hands suffered for it. But I appreciate fine work. And that is some fine work. I'm one of those guys who couldn't cut a straight saw cut unless I'm using a guide. Even when playing with my lathe have to use two hands when setting the dials. Frank

I've been interested in learning to engrave for several years now, decided to get serious about it this year an put together a homemade airgraver, ordered some blank gravers and templates to shape and sharpen them from Lindsey, been practicing a little each day but there is a huge learning curve and I am a pretty good artist when it comes to drawing and painting. One friend had recommended the book Engraving Historic Firearms
by John Schippers he said it was the bible for engraving as far as he was concerned. Have you read it by chance? Its not cheap so wondered if it was worth getting it. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos on the subject.

No I havent. The videos are mezmerizing to watch, but NOTHING can take the place of actually cutting metal and teaching yourself what works and what dose'nt. A gifted artist has half the battle won.
