OK everyone,
We have a lot of new people on the forums who have never been to or know about the Engrave In. So I am starting this thread for the newbies who are not familiar with this great get together in Monteagle, TN. If any of you engraving in veterans want to add to this feel free. Any of you newbies want to ask questions about the event feel free.
The engrave in is an engravers get together at Scott Pilkington's place in Monteagle, TN. It happens every year after the Blade Show.

We all gather there every year and have a good time, great food and talk shop. There are several engravers from world class masters to beginners and every level in between. Scott always has training seminars lined up which are always informative. There will also be various types of tools and such to try out. A lot of people set up displays of their work. Scott has an auction to help pay for the event. A lot of times that is a good place to pick up tools and materials and such at a good price. .... and did I mention we talk a lot of shop?
Scott also always has some cool shooting stuff lined up. Either a Civil War cannon or WWII machine gun or something cool like that for folks to shoot. I think this year he has a cannon lined up. We are also planning a clay pigeon shoot.
Jim Hall always brings in his big smoker and smokes some great hog. We eat like kings while we are there.
A lot of us camp out at Scott's for the event. Others get a hotel room town which is only about 5 minutes away. At night there is always music around the campfire.
IT is a genuinely good time. The camaraderie cannot be beat anywhere. If you even have a passing interest in engraving this event is well worth going to.
