I was fortunate enough to take Rex's GRS start to finish firearms class. I'm not quite done with it yet but I'm almost there. If anyone is wondering if taking a class is woth it IT IS. I've been engraving one year this week and usually get one day a week where I can practice if I'm lucky. I know I've just scratched the surface of what there is to learn but I feel like I've come a long way already.

You did a class with Rex and survived!!!

You couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

Cheers

Rex is great. He corrected a major issue I was having with depth and gripping the graver too tightly. Plus he knows the best places to eat.

" Plus he knows the best places to eat."

Sooo True. I just had to laugh...

You've got the bug. Well done!

Hi Neisha,
Your work looks very good but it would be really nice if you could point us to some hi resolution photos of the engraving. It is hard to tell on the photo that you have posted what is actually going on there. Maybe on your website or something like that.

Congrats on finding GRS. After 10 classes I can tell you they get addictive.

This was a quick shot with my phone that I posted while sitting in a waiting room. I'm not sure I want to be posting hi resolution shots on here. It can be brutal.

I was having a lot of frustration with the cylinder. I seemed to break a graver every inch or so. I tried dubbing, changing the graver type, angles, tap magic and a different holding fixture. I think it is just a tough cylinder.

Good job Neisha! Looks great.... mine's not finished yet either....

And I couldn't agree more... class was AWESOME and Rex and Sandy were both great to learn from.
