Pauline, you accomplish beautiful work. Enjoyed flipping through your web site. Wondering if hand-engraving, like mechanical watch repair, is becoming extinct?

I think the old hammer and chisel method that I was taught is becoming extinct. A lot of the engravers today use the pneumatic engraving tools. They still do nice work but I am old school. I think you have a little more control when doing it by hand.

I suspect there is constant concern with hand-engraving toward a slight error that could reduce an expensive firearm to a wall-hanger. You are a unique metal artist. May you live long, enjoy good health and continue chiseling away with pride.
