What is the ENGRAVER ?

Roger Bleile · Dec 30, 2008

It is the official publication of the Firearms Engravers Guild of America (FEGA).
http://www.fega.com/

Ken Hurst · Dec 30, 2008

If you seriously interested in engraving, you'll join FEGA and receive a copy bi-monthly. There is always so much beautiful work shown and many articles telling you how to do this or that. This is a must have, a no brainer. Go to fega.com & check it out Ken --- a charter member

Andrew Biggs · Dec 30, 2008

Yes to everything Ken has just said............

We are incredibley lucky to have world class engravers that take the time to write articles for the magazine.

This takes a lot of effort on their part and along with the photos and to and froing from me can be very time consuming for them. They share their techniques and ideas with us and all sorts of usful bits of information and inspiration. Plus the Around the traps photos of FEGA members work is always great to see.

It's always a real pleasure for me to work with them and to see their work in print.

Cheers
Andrew

There is a sample issue of the ENGRAVER on the front page of fega.com as well. It is an older issue but gives you an idea. The PDF version is by no means as nice as a real copy but gives an example. The magazine is published quarterly. Again, thanks to Andrew and ALL those members that contribute to this great magazine!

I just got my copy of "The Engraver" issue 81 this morning. I don't believe that there has ever been anything equal to "The Engraver" in the history of hand engraving and each issue outdoes the last. My thanks to the editor, Andrew Biggs and all of the contributors. And let's not forget the advertisers who help to make it possible.

Issue 81 has articles by Marty Rabino (FANCYGUN), John Barraclough (John B), Fred Bowen, Carl Bleile, Mike Dubber, Bill Gamradt, Bill Moody, and Winston Churchill. What a line up!!! The issue also contains a comprehensive list of engraving school schedules and photos of member's work.

If you are not a member of FEGA you are missing an invaluable publication for anyone seriously interested in hand engraving. And I should point out that while FEGA is an organization of gun engravers, the tips, tools, and most information contained in the magazine can be applied to nearly any form of hand engraving.

Glad you to hear they are showing up! They were mailed the Monday after Christmas and I didn't even get mine until Saturday and I live in the town they were mailed from!

KCSteve · Jan 5, 2009

Mine arrived in today's mail. I have to leave to attend to a family thing so I'm taking it along.

Peter E · Jan 5, 2009

Got mine today also. I am very happy that I took the advice of fellow forumites and joined FEGA. My next goal, is to make it to the annual meeting in Reno some time in the future.

Being a skier, it would be great to go to Reno for the meeting and seminars and combine that with a few days of skiing in nearby Tahoe.
