Engraving Guns Tools

Rifle stock fabrication?

I am about to do something stupid i think in the name of finding a hobby ! I am a decent wood worker and have decided to make an attempt to hand make a stock set for a Marlin guide gun .450. I have already purchased the wood in Walnut in XXXXFancy Grade. Im going to do some engraving on the wood aswell as the reciever. I have 2 questions:

1. Although I have been working with wood for some time i have never worked with walnut. Im looking for that high luster shine and Im not sure how to get it other than prep work for the wood. Is there a particular coat of finish Im looking for ?

2. I will be hand engraving the wood as I have done this and its not that hard, what I havent done is engrave metal by hand and was wondering if (A) Anyone has any good info on it & if it brings any more challenges to the table over wood. (B) If there is a particular brand or type of tools anyone recomends.

I thank you in advance for help which will no doubt end with a rifle only I will want !!!!

Tackling metal engraving is a huge step. You can get gravers and instructions, but I would definitely want to try practicing on similar metal first, possibly and old junker reciever. Engraving is not something most people would do on a gun they want without having some practice behind them. Paying for it is expensive and waiting period could be up to 3 years. I applaud you for wanting to do this yourself. You have a whole lot more balls than I have. The Fancy grade stock is very expensive to begin with. If you got all the equipment to metal engrave and inlet a stock etc. your project could end up costing you thousands. But when you' re done and the work suits you, you will have the equipment to do work for others plus a real fine gun to pass on to your heirs.

I understand how this works. I started making knives by wanting to make one for my son when he was old enough to go hunting with me. Ended up doing this on a regualr basis and spent about $1000.00 on assorted tools etc. I like tools and use them for other applications so no big deal. To date, I have made about 165 knives of all sorts.

As far as a high gloss deep sheen in your stock, there used to be a style of finishing called French finish It was used alot on furniture. I know some gun sites will have the proper way to do it. It basically involved oil finish, diluted with some turpentine or thinner. It is a fast finish compared to hand rubbed oil. I have done gun stocks that required 26 coats of hand rubbed oil. But when it was done, there was not a single flaw and all the grain was filled up. It will be a labor of love and when your done, you will have crab claws for hands. Feel free to e-mail ref. you project. I'll see what I can do to help.

Why Benchmade Knives are Superior to Any Other

The Benchmade Company is well known for the superior products it manufactures, which is quite a feat considering this company has only been around a little over 20 years. Starting out in California, and later relocating the company to Oregon, Benchmade has certainly made its mark in the business of manufacturing high quality knives. Benchmade knives are available in a different variety of designs, and can also be made more distinctive and personalized with the addition of laser engraving.

Benchmade knives are designed and built to the highest standards, and are far and above the quality of any others. These knives are made from the finest materials available. They perform the way they are supposed to, and that is just one of the reasons why they are carried in the line of duty by anyone serving in the military or by police officers. These people need a knife they can count on, and Benchmade knives hold their own. The superior cutting edges assure the user that this knife is capable of optimum performance and reliability. Quality is never compromised with this product.

People who use Benchmade knives can choose from a wide variety of unique designs. The Benchmade brands are divided into 4 different classifications, which are gold, blue, black, and red. Various steel blades are used to enhance performance and avoid corrosion. The blade itself has either a polished or satin surface. The handles of the Benchmade knives are available in many different colors, from a standard black or silver, and even pink or yellow for the ladies. You may have the engraving of your choice either on the handle, or the blade itself.

Benchmade has continued to manufacture newer, more innovative products that are customized for the user in the field of law enforcement and military personnel. Nothing is as important as the defense equipment they carry, and Benchmade knives make the mark every time. Continuing services are offered on the knives they sell such as re-sharpening through various methods. Benchmade always offers excellent service to their customers.

Your Benchmade knives must be maintained properly to allow them to function, as they should. The blade should always be kept very sharp. A blunt knife can be so much more dangerous than one with a keen edge. The locking device should always be kept clean and oiled. Periodic inspection will keep your knife in top shape. Benchmade knives should never be used for anything other than cutting. It's not a screwdriver, and shouldn't be used like one. Neither is it a tool used for scraping, prying, or chiseling. Using it in this way will result in blade damage, and might possibly void any warranty you have. If you have a problem with the locking mechanism, take it back to the company and have it repaired. Don't try to disassemble it yourself. Not only can this be hazardous to you, but also, you might be doing something that your warranty won't cover. Any Benchmade knives you currently own and use in your line of work will give you years of service if maintained properly.
