I've been sneaking in some time on my own 7X57R. My favorite style of engraving. The action will be blued and the engraving will be French greyed. A fallow buck will adorn the oval.

Gentlemen,

Though both of you are very competent and certainly abve the norm I detect flaws in your respective execution. I understand that sundry posters will "flame" me but that's how I call it.

What flaws do you detect. Don't forget all my work is making by hand.

No "flame" here. However, I think those posting their work deserve the courtesy of your explanation, publicly or privately. Otherwise, haven't you just "flamed" them?

There is no 'pissy little flame' that will stick to either of these guys.
They know what they are doing and they represent the top of each of their corners of the craft.

On that, they also both know that there is no engraving work without flaws.

I'd take the 'seconds and blems' from either Roland or Bailey in a new york minute!






Cheers
Tinker

OK to answer Grenadier.

My teacher of what to look for is a now retired engraver by name of Bruce Dean (Sydney, OZ). He trained under Lyndon Dadswell at the now Sydney College of Fine Arts and was appenticed at the age of 15 as a diesinker, a trade that he continued in part (as self employed) until part time retirement at the age of 67.

As many may not know diesinking requires deep relief work be exact so his tools of trade were the usual hand gravers (Not using a hammer) and a Zeiss 20X binocular microscope.

Those that have seen his work are Lyndon MacKenzie and the once head of the US pistol? team at the 2000 Olympics who took a rubber copy of his masterwork for display back in the US.

Some years back (93?) a fella from Purdeys (Ali Rasheed?) arrived here thinking he'd make good and having examined some of Bruce's and others work decided there would be better chance of making a good living back in Blighty.

Another OZ worker is Damien Connolly who can pass opinion as did Larry (whatisname) who remarked that his work surpassed the Tiffany Colts of the era.

Anyway one of Bruce's talents was that he can use either hand to steer the graver and as professionals know you work in an arc toward the body but once you have to cut away then the arc differs as you lose a bit of control. If a practtioner uses only one hand then it shows BUT this diminishes over the ensuing years.

Some of Bruce's customers remarked that they did not like the work as it appeared "too mechanical" due the exact work.

Capiche?

So where are the pictures of YOUR masterpieces, Michaelangelo? Until you can show something, your logorrhea only confirms what I have insisted you are - an anal retentive and degenerate.

Whacky do mate.

I see that obviously you misunderstood my text that I was tutored by a master abt what is best practice in execution. I do not claim to be a less than very occasional practitioner of the craft however my instruction from Mr Dean remains as truth. I do not resile from such.

Might I suggest you exercise your obvious research skills and inform the audience of your findings.

"Logorrhea"? I understand such to be a conflation of "log ons/posts" and "rrhea" a conjunction of "computerese" and the Greek "excessive".

FFS you are obviously a practitioner of the "craft" of Manglish. Please get some intellectual rigour into your "command" of the tongue eh?

From your website I perceive you are certainly not a "rationalist", moreso (but here I am lost for words).................ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

To utilise your disjunctive dialect: "In anticipation (not)".

FWIFW there is a descendant of M. Buonarotti here and he is an excellent gunmaker. He does some of those photos posted to date.

Guys can ya lay off each other !! Don't we all have enough conflict elsewhere in our lives? Do we really need to log on in our own time to find more of the same ?
I notice there are not a lot of posts lately and I'm beginning to understand why. When a guy posts something for us to view he is entitled to the respect of his peers and some common courtesy.
A statement of

"I detect flaws in your respective execution" serves no purpose other than to discourage others from posting things that they are proud of for us to enjoy and we are all poorer

^ Frankly I'd be interested in comments from professional and talented amateur practitioners in this matter as a discussion/forum on trading respective techniques/tricks rather than an uninformed pissing contest from the sidelines.
