After viewing your picture gallery I could see you are a very talented gun engraver but many times talented craftsmen are not good teachers. What I hadn’t counted on was your ability to teach. I also liked the fact your classes were not more that four students at a time so I knew there would be plenty of one on one instruction. I liked the fact that you offered multiple engraving systems so we could try each without a “hard sell, have to have” approach. I had been a researching about a year for equipment, information and classes and had actually decided on a different course when I happened upon your website. I was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information you were able to supply us with in such a short time frame. Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for sharing your engravingtechniques and experiences in class last week. Additional information will be mailed to you when you reserve your seat. Motels and restaurants are very inexpensive in Springfield and are near by the shop, as is Branson for your evening entertainment. Deposits are fully refundable if you have to cancel prior to 7 days from the start of the class. A deposit of $100 will reserve your seat with the balance being paid when you arrive. Classes will generally be held Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5:30pm in my shop, Cherokee Firearms 1500 W College st, Springfield, Missouri. All tools and equipment will be supplied for your use. The tools used are Steve Lindsay’s Palmcontrol hand piece, the Artisan and Classic foot control hand pieces, The Glendo Corporation’s Gravermach as well as the older Gravermeister tool. Scheduling will be very flexible depending on both our commitments. I hold classes of one week with 2 to 4 students. Travel and hotel info for Springfield can be found on-line Details Hotels are also plentiful around the I-44 and Glenstone Ave intersection in Springfield, MO. I have a friend with an AirBnB just a few blocks from my house and shop. Wanting to continue Tilden’s legacy, I put a shop together for lessons and now offer them, on a regular basis, to others with the desire to learn this enduring craft. In 1992 the old gentleman who taught me engraving, Tilden Swenson of Little Rock, died.
I have always had an aptitude for teaching and conveying information well and have shared what I have learned over the years with many on an informal basis.
