Techniques for Deep Relief Scene Engraving is a new 2009 course at the GRS Training Center. Robert "Bob" Finlay will teach his methods and style during this intermediate course in July. Recently, his engraved MicroBlock was featured here in its final stage of engraving. Finlay created a Great Plains theme, complete with cowboys, horses, and more.

Finlay has also engraved a multitude of Hobo Nickels. His work with this style of engraving allows him to design layouts with a three-dimensional quality that is admirable. "In 1980, Bob met the late Don Glaser who introduced him to another set of skills, metal engraving. If you have been to a GRS class and attended the Tuesday night dinner, you have seen some of Bob's extraordinary deep relief work on guns, knives, battle axes, and Hobo Nickels. His newest project is the Great Plains GRS Microblock Ball Vise. He is also currently working on a 1/3 scale 4-cylinder engine..."
