Barry, isn't that going to be a bit small on the table?
Wish I could see that close a lot of times.

Magnificent graver control on cutting the circle. I am getting there on graver control, but not such excellent control as yours.

Looks great! The first circle you cut looks amazing.
I would love to see a photo of the finished screw directly from The top, I don't think the angle and lighting in the last picture is doing the piece justice.
Thanks for sharing, I'm going to be spending a lot of time on your website studying your work, very impressive!

newbie question, but what graver are you using.

Thanks folks,
It took a couple hours and was done with a Lindsay patent point universal and a square graver

I ran into Ken at the show and he showed me a 1911 frfame and slide he was working on. Don't worry, there is no barrel in it.
And he showed me a pic of him studying with Sam in Emporia.
