    My first scope!

    Thought I would add a few details for those wondering: Paid 50 dollars for the microscope, and soon found out why, was totally out of alignment, had to disassemble the whole thing and adjust it. Also one of the eye peices was busted on arrival, so had to purchase another 10x wf for 15 dollars...

    has any one ever built a air engraver

    Hey guys, on second thought, maybe instead of making your own graver, you should just give all your money away altogether and not only pay others to make the tools, but pay others to do the engraving for you as well, wink wink! P. S. I promise I am not a toolmaker on the forum descised as a...

    has any one ever built a air engraver

Making your own isn’t that hard, plenty of videos on YouTube, instead of listening to folks tell you to hand over your money...

    Another home made engraving machine

    Neat to see folks still making their own gravers, my uncles was a master jeweler and graver for over 50 years and always made his own, he never owned a commercial model, although he did have a nice diamond power hone to sharpen his gravers
