    Question: From every angle

    i quite agree with crossbolt. templates may be ok for an absolute newb. as one gains experience, the templates simply get in the way of spontaniety. to me the use of templates makes kerning text way more tricky. the eyeball way is much bertter.

    3D illusion engraving

    those look really nice. they are mindful of sketches i made long before i ever began engraving. i found this one in a folder. all were different and done with no idea how they would look when done. i'd simply start somewhere on the paper with a small shape, draw a border around it, and just...

    Flask sources

    just a guess here. try googling wedding suppliers. never know what is available on the net or the bay. i;d think most any article like that in ss could be engraved.

    Removing Barrels from the New Generation Colt Pythons?

    one of our forum members sent me a "cnc" sample engravfing done on a piece of silver. i must say that with a bit of software tweaking, the work was very close to hand as you could get. doing a complicated 3-d piece, such as a gun, would be a problem of proper layout rather than the execution of...

    3D illusion engraving

    yes. for jewelry that could prove to be a real eyecatcher esp. with certain cutting techniques such as the flare technique. the landlord sells a dvd on flare cutting. it's worth a look to adapt to yer particular area of interest

    Scope or nope.

    i had one some time ago. as mitch hinted, the power and clarity were very nice. there was no stereoscopic or 3-d at all in the image. for me it was useless for engraving. it was cool tho, you could usb the output to a computer or even a tv screen with the proper cabling. it was a very good...

    Removing Barrels from the New Generation Colt Pythons?

    sad to say. somebody with a magical hi tech laser or thimajig will perhaps find a a way to embellish without entertaining skilled hands to do this new type barrier for artists. remember the pantograph? a huge number of very skilled people lost their jobs. the will to do the amazing with ones'...

    3D illusion engraving

    lovely to look at. how will you adapt this type of design to the variety of objects engravers are asked to embellish ? it may look fabulous on a zippo lighter. how would such look on an expensive firearm, knife, revere bowl, and a host of other objects with compound curves ? i think for flat...

    Progress Pic Zebra in Preparation for Etching

    when your etch is deep enough, do you fill with enamel for firing ? or do you use it as the final design element ? either way, the stuff can be really neat looking.
