Topic: Home-made Fixture Number of Responses: 7
Just thought I'd send photos of the engraver shapening fixture I made from the photos and plan in the last Engraver magazine.
I'm new at this and am getting the tools together to get started and this is the first one I've made.
I engraved the holder for both roll and pitch so it can be adjusted to any needed angle.
Hope the photos are OK.

Topic: Another big thank you! Number of Responses: 3
Hi,
I wanted to thank everyone at FEGA (members, officers, and especially the editor!) for the very, very nice Editor's award for the article on raised steel inlay. With all the talent featured in each issue of The Engraver, being presented with such a nicely framed certificate is very humbling indeed! I hope these awards will inspire the "real" writers among us to take the time to submit an article of their own!
Sincerely,
Weldon Lister |

Topic: FEGA Magazine awards at Reno Number of Responses: 1
As you all can gather by now the FEGA show at Reno was quite an experience. As the editor of the FEGA Engraver Magazine it was also my great pleasure at the General Meeting to give out the “Editors Choice” awards/certificates for articles submitted for publication in 2007.
It’s not easy deciding who gets these sorts of things as all the articles were first rate and it would be nice to give everyone a certificate for their wonderful contributions to the magazine. In the end four articles were chosen for their depth and insight. So congratulations go to………………….
Weldon Lister…...Issue#75. Raised Steel Inlay
Marty Rabeno……Issue#75. Anatomy of an Engraving
Francis Heuse….. Issue #76. Learning to Engrave in Liege Belgium
Diane Scalese……Issue#76. Western Bright Cut Engraving
To everyone that has contributed articles and photos I would like to extend my own personal thanks for the time and effort that you put into writing them. It is you that make the magazine what it is.
I know from personal experience that it’s not an easy thing to do and requires quite a considerable amount of time, effort and thought. The FEGA members and complimentary subscribers certainly appreciate reading the articles and learn a lot from them. The articles and photos also further the art of engraving as a whole. Tools, techniques, art, design, business, philosophy, lifestyle and ideas all add to the mix that we call engraving.
Cheers
Andrew

Topic: From the 2008 Reno show. Number of Responses: 4
Hi to all our member friends.
I am currently at our great Reno FEGA show and it may well be the best one yet.
Not to make anyone who was not able to attend jealous, but there is so much beautiful new work to see it is truly mind boggling.
Ron Smiths new Model ’73 is outstanding and look out for the pictures that are sure to be posted soon.
Lee G, Sam W and Marty R also have some wonderful new works of art on display and I’m sure Andrew Biggs, our editor is staying busy photographing them for future issues of the journal.
Brian H and so many others that I have not yet found time to visit have some marvels that I am looking forward to seeing today after the business meeting.
I know it is not possible but I wish all the members of our FEGA family could be here to enjoy the fellowship with us.
Best regards to all, John.
