I have teached for one month in the engraving's school of Liège.
When I am teaching the drawing course I make in the same time a new draw and I would like to show you.
It is a Mauser

Hi Roland,
Not really an Antique Engraver's Tool but I like it very much

Are you going to use it on a Mauser you already have? Or is this practise for you too.

Thanks for showing.
Oh, does this engraving school have a website?

Greetings,

Hi Daniel,
I must evolued ;-)
It is just for practice and pass my time when the students worked.
Yes it is a traditionnal school and it is the only one all over the world where you go out with a school diploma ;-)
It is my old school too.

Lovely work Roland but I agree with Daniel - I don't think you qualify as an 'Antique Engraver'. :p

Hi Roland, I just read your post again. I didn't know this was a drawing! Wow... this is incredible! When I first saw it, I thought it was a finished engraving and picture of the gun, but it is a drawing. Good job!

Oh sure Steve - move this to the proper forum so Daniel and I look even crazier than usual.

This is just another reminder of what a good technique it is to make a full-size copy of the design and actually set it in place - it lets you see if it will or will not look good.

In this case, of course, it looks great! :thumbsup:

Yup Steve! These move buttons are fun.

Here is a bigger pic of Roland's drawing!

When doing complicated work it's better to draw first, that way any improvements can be made while keeping the original for reference.

Yes Carl, I make the drawing in bigger than the original and after I reduce it, you are automaticly a finest work.
I d like do this presentation because for the customer, it is easier to have an idea of finished engraving.
