For all my Flute Friends

I'm developing a new look to those Cap Crowns and planning on a whole new line of affordable personalization. Pictured here is a prototype silver cap crown that I've highly decorated. The center stone is a real diamond, but it's only placed for the picture. The final stone will be a real Ice Blue Topaz Gemstone. The 6 surrounding stones are just white CZ's for accent. My plans are to offer any gemstone your heart desires: Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds, Sapphires... Or we can use colored CZ's. Since I'm not finished with this, I'll post pictures of the final product--I might even engrave a little on it too!

Best "Singles Ad" printed in newspaper

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me...Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for Annie, I'll be waiting..... Over 150 men found themselves talking to the Atlanta Humane Society.

Warther pliers

Made from just 10 straight cuts in a single piece of wood. I sat on his lap as a child in the 1960's and he carved these for me.

Engraving on "Not-so-stupid" steel


A nice little gift for my sweetie.
Wife Betty bought a car and I thought I'd make her a new key fob to go with it.
Turned out pretty nice for my first stone-setting project.

Scrimshaw???



My First attempt at scrimshaw. I bought Sandra Brady's DVD's and actually paid attention to them. I also used my invention, The "BradyBlok" scrimshaw/bulino workholding fixture. Not too bad for a beginner.

Engraving work for Precision Small Arms


Just completed these "twins" for Precision Small Arms.
These are basically the same as the original "Baby Browning" .25ACP pocket automatic pistol.
Too bad I didn't get the grips for these,but that's typical.
