C'mon Gary - we want to see what you did. Engraving is an art and like all art, it takes time to learn. I have watched folks do engraving and find it fascinating. I o longer can see well enough to even give it a try but I admire anyone who takes on the challenge. Many years ago, I had a fellow ask me if I had any old "gun parts". When I asked him what he was looking for - his reply was "anything I can practice engraving on". I sorted through parts and pieces and found some old single and double shotgun receivers that were stripped - some old trigger guards, etc. and gave them to him. He was thrilled and when he showed me his work, I was very impressed.

We'd love to see what you did at the school!
