Unlike so many so-called "instruction manuals", The Art of Engraving does not assume you know anything about engraving. You start at the beginning by learning to draw scrolls and layouts, then cut practice plates until you are sure enough of your ability to actually proceed to designing a pattern, transferring it to a gun and cutting it into the steel.

Every gunsmith, gun lover or craftsman - no matter what his other calling - has the soul of an artist. This personal, creative urge can be easily directed into the highly renumerative field of gun engraving through the coaching, no-nonsense instructions and technical support in  Hundreds of original engravings, designs and layouts by the author (plus samples from other master engravers) to explain specific points and techniques. Much of the original work is intended for you to copy and transfer to your own guns to create an engraving job you can be proud of having done.

A collection fo 569 all new, original, how-to Kinks, with 332 illustrations, plus 64 pages of latest instructions on a variety of processes - from Color Case Hardening to applying Bake-On finishes to a whole chapter dedicated to advice on running your shop, and increasing profits.  You'll find 133 pages with 167 job-specific Kinks for handguns, rifles, and shotguns; a method to keep tiny springs and parts from vaporizing into space, tricks to make your drill press more versatile, some sample dream shop layouts; and that's just a very partial list.

The specialized art of carving gunstocks is very popular with both hunters and crafters. Many hunters commission artists to carve an image replicating a successful hunt on their gun or rifle which is then displayed to commemorate their catch. This type of woodcarving can be very lucrative and now carvers of all levels can learn this process from start to finish with this new book by Bill Janney.

Bill Janney has appeared on PBS's American Woodshop and is a featured demonstrator at Cabela's, a national hunting store. He lives in Middletown, Ohio.
