If you are going to be in the bay area and would like to learn how to do some basic metal engraving for banjos please send me an email to set up a date and time.
No tools needed just come prepared to learn
Thanks
Greg

Thank you kindly.

Greg,
How about doing this at IBMA and SPBGMA?

Hi Greg

Sounds a great idea. But living in the UK--a bit far.

Very cool of you to offer this Greg. Ditto to all the above but at my age this old dog has no more tricks to learn. But an awesome offer and what a way to pay it forward to a new generation. Huge thumbs up.

Also too far away, but wouldn't mind seeing some examples.

Greg, I appreciate the offer. Do you have some examples of engraved metal that you could share? I have gone through my first pass at etching brass for a rim stick label and a brass peghead inlay. I would only consider using the rim stick label. The resolution wasn't there for the peg head (a chubby dragon) after transferring from my computer to resist on the brass and etching. I am interested to see what you have achieved. and how it might compare to something I can probably do with a CNC mill. I am usually making a California trip every 2-3 years. Might have to come sooner thanks to your kind offer!

I have spent many hours in that chair at grich’s house and highly recommend it. Good lessons, good stories and good food
