Since keith absolutely trashed the last thread, I just wanted ot take this Free Opportunity to let you fellows now that there is just one bench left for Metal Finishing and Bluing and that I changed the dates to June 15-19, 2020. to reiterate:
We will be doing express and slow rust bluing, advanced polishing techniques, reshaping and restoring by hand filing, polishing with stones, grit paper (cloth) polishing nitre bluing and will discuss rust browning, Damascus browning, proper metal prep and post techniques for Color Case Hardening. As a bonus we will examine the longevity of all these finishes and techniques using examples of my own custom guns after 20-30 year of usage.

There are two benches still open for Stockmaking (Sept.7-11, 2020) but I'm expecting one to fill shortly. Fence sitters take note!
Fire away keith, and Thanks Dave!
