Toby,
That's very nice work!!:thumbup:
Has he ever done any work on steel? Engraving work like that,on guns,is very pricey!

Arnold and Ron,

I know this isn't really engraving, it's filed...however I thought you might enjoy seeing it.....

Todd Davison is a Bladeforums regular who has made a couple of nice slipjoints for me (Arnold, the one with copper liners) and does very nice work.

I wish that was my long gun. Maybe he'll do a Schrade (forum content)?

Bill,
I've never seen file work like that.It has to be very demanding to hold the depth of parallel lines the same!
There used to be an old gunsmith in this area that was trained in Germany.He told me that,for the first 6 months of his apprenticeship,he did absolutely nothing but learn to file.He made a lot of his small parts with files.
Thanks for posting the picture!

Toby,
Is he going to use a semi-auto for the first one? I expect working on a flat surface is different than round surfaces like a revolver cylinder or barrel.
Hope you show some pictures when he's finished!
Ron
