Playing around with metal sculpting

[Brian Dudley]

The beginnings of an A-1 Special upgrade starting with a 12g 1-1/2 frame GHE.

Triple fences added to the standard frame. First bead was added with weld. The other two are chiseled and filed in from the existing breech ball metal.

I hope you continue to post progress pics. It would be nice to follow your work.

[Dean Romig]

Are you going to try your hand at engraving, or will it go to Geoffroy?

[Brian Dudley]

I do what i can and leave the rest to others who know better. Engraving is one of those.

[edgarspencer]

Are you going to stop with the three beads or try for the fourth that ends in a pigtail below the flutes? I think I like the three over the more complicated one.

[Brian Dudley]

No additonal beads. That later style of A1 embellishment is ok and all, but it is a little much I think.
