Hello everyone, my name is michael linkous. I'm a Registered Nurse who just unpacked his gravermach tonight. I have been educating myself with books on engraving and this website, which is great by the way. I got hooked on engraving when I saw a pair of Colt's engraved by Master Engraver Jerry Harper. They belong to a good friend of mine and he introduced me to Jerry. Jerry was kind enough to take time out of his day to talk with me for a few hours. I feel priviledged to have been able to talk with him as I know his time is valuable. That talk is what answered the few remaining questions and doubts I had in order for me to shell out $3,000 bucks for tools! I plan on taking the basic metal engraving course at the GRS training center. I went ahead and bought tools to start out since the classes are 3-4 months away. I would like to thank everyone for all the great knowledge I have gained from these pages already.
