Here's one of those jobs that's fun and fast.

This 1100 belongs to a buddy and yes he did pay for three days bench time..

One day draw filing this fairly well used Auto loader...

Two days cutting.

That's sweet, love those remy's 1100's and 870's. They have lots of engraving space.

I like it!

The expression on the very first bird (at the left on the first picture) just cracks me up.

The style on the main scrolls is interesting. Sort of a minimalist / impressionist style. Got any more examples of it?

The mix of the large scroll elements and the bulino means that there's something to enjoy on that gun from across the room all the way up to using a loupe for the details.

Great job Kurt, it looks perfectly ducky to me.

The scrollwork is Reminton Factory stuff on the older 1100's, I just shaded it so it wasn't so obtrusive. With the factory scroll in the way, it is difficullt to make a well laid out pattern. So in reality you just end up with an engraving that is mostly a hodge-podge affair. That's not saying it's not attractive in it's own right, it's just not quite crickette.

Here is a little folder from William Henry. Almost finished the hinge screw needs some attention as well as some clean up on over runs and a little burnishing to clean up the the overspray on a few leaf tips from the bead blasting to shade the background.

Anybody find the glairing screw up?

Ooo! Another cool background pattern.

And again it looks simple but I know how unforgiving all those straight lines can be. Plus the regularity of it means that your eye will immediately pick out any element that's off in any way.

It really sets off the scroll well - nice job!

Scott,

The first and only time I drank KWAK I proposed to Jeanine, we only knew each other for a few weeks. 25 years latter were still going strong.
