Jeez, Rick give it a rest.

What's up with you and the constant snarky comments?  

I get it that you don't like or respect what I do.

FYI and for everybody else who is wondering...  

As usual 99% of this horn was done one dot at a time by a hand held point.  But to reiterate for what the 40th? time...I do have a stippling machine which I use in very specific circumstances, such as when something has to be very black.  It's not set it and forget it.  You still have to guide it with your hand, but it saves an immense amount of time for doing large black areas.  Frankly I don't think my patrons would be happy if I charged them an extra 4 or 5 hours just so I can say that I did every dot by hand.  It's a LABOR SAVING DEVICE get it?



Snarky?  I thought that I was giving you a compliment and only asking you a question. Your powder horns are pretty and I enjoy seeing them.  Keep up the great work!
Rick

p.s.  Hi Gary!
