Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Dennis Reigle, my engraver from Orcas Islnad Wa. just dropped off the latest commission I gave him. The ejector rod housing is still being done, but here's what he's done so far. It's an 1896 made 44/40. Looked like 5 miles of bad road before he started, but look at the old girl now!

Yep, he uses that on almost all of his work, makes the artwork POP and it's surprisingly durable. I've had another set for years and I've never seen any rust, even in our mostly wet weather.
Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 He does it the old fashion way, small chisel and hammer, it's amazing to watch! I can't draw a straight line using a ruler and this guy can do this freehand!

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Mike, have him do the hammer also. Had it done years ago by Bill Falk for a friend and it looked great.
