We're the brass parts sand blasted to get that finish?

Hi Paul,

I use the finest glass beads that McMaster Carr sells to bead blast after I have draw filed or whatever is necessary to remove all the mill marks and de-burr the parts. Glass beading will not hide the mill marks. Usually blast the part at a distance from the gun to be careful not to damage anything.
Glass beading before cold bluing the steel parts works real good also.

Sir
Your project looks superb. I am the Apprenticeship coordinator for the Apprenticeship 2000 program in North Carolina. My apprentices have made a couple of Brian Rupnows designs. They have been wonderful training exercises as well as something to keep after they have completed the project. I was wondering if there were any prints or drawings available for this project. You can contact me at [email protected] I would love to speak to you about this project and maybe send you some pictures of what we have completed.
Thank you for your expertise.
Bob
