Hallburton, Yves
As far as he can remember, at about 8 years of age Yves was using grinders, band saws and a lathes. It is here Yves learned his love of tools and machines from his paternal grandfather a master machinist and inventor. By 15 he had mastered most typical machinery. By 17 he had acquired the taste of woodworking due to its medium. Wood gave Yves the ability to make work with a material that was useful, mainly furniture. He has been working with wood and building furniture for over 30 years. He further has acquired the skill of stock making, stock checkering and finish. In 2002 he was reintroduced to the art of metalworking in the form of engraving. He purchased engraving tools and started tooling around in his spare time. Yves furthered his skills by being taught by master engraver Sam Alfano. Yves is also a standing member of FEGA, The Firearms Guild of American and the ACGG, The American Custom Gunmakers Guild.
