I only have one fire arm as I’m living in Belgium where we have a strict Law about fire arms.
It is a FN Browning 1910 I got from my dad who got it from his dad. So it is almost a hundred years old but still works fine.
As it will be my first and probably only shotgun I will ever engrave, I have to do this the best I can starting with the design.
Sure it is a project, and I know finally I’m ready for it.
During the time I spent in this Café, I got a lot of help finding original patterns for this pistol.
I now started drawing the outlines of the different parts that need scroll designs. To be sure it all will fit properly; I printed this several times, used scissors to put all the different parts on the pistol to make sure they have the right size.
So far so good.
Now I started adding the design I will engrave, based on an original FN Renaissance design.
Once I have a vector design, I will cut all of that on a steel sheet first, then use Mike Dubber’s system to transfer it on the pistol itself.
So it will take some time to finish this project, sure to be continued.
