    Second silver inlay practice

    Allen..............The not using oil tip was given to me by Phil Coggan many years ago. Not sure why it works but it does. Maybe something to do with a build-up of accumulated crud between the inlay and sandpaper. I've never used water as metal is allergic to it so I don't know if the same...

    Second silver inlay practice

    Wow!!! That was awesome!!!! I love it……That has to be the most cack handed, roughest way I have ever seen gold inlayed. And the thickest chunk of silver I’ve ever seen to do the job.…….And yet it seemed to work :) And that is all that matters. From what I can see the silver held in place...

    Critique Request First time ever showing my work

    Hi JB From what I can see you are well on your way. :) Your main cuts are nice and sharp and show good graver control. The background work is well done by being nice and even which is actually quite hard on big areas like you have. Your leaves are well formed and show a great improvement from...

    Critique Request Tiffany money clip

    Hi Matthew You've made a good job of it and the shading is very nice. Some advise.........With something like this where there are only 3 scrolls and being quite large, your scrolls have to be perfect. There is nowhere to hide as they are there for all to see :) No lumps, bumps, flat spots or...

    Question: Engraveable watch dials

    Okay, a couple of things.... Yes, you can engrave the watch while it's fully assembled. I have engraved a lot of watches like this. But then again, I'm working directly with the watch maker so anything coming loose is easily fixed. So just do your homework. "On the high end watches, I can’t...

    Question: Engraveable watch dials

    Voiding warranties………..This area is a complete minefield. Depending on the watch manufacturer, if any unauthorised person opens the watch, engraves the watch or otherwise tinkers with the watch………all warranties are voided. The higher end you go, the more likely this is to happen and the more...

    RIP Gianfranco Pedersoli

    That is so sad to hear. His artistry on steel is world class and inspirational as are many of the Italian engravers. I still browse through his book published by Blue Book Publications. He will always be remembered through his work. What a life!!

    Question: Sandblasting or beadblasting

    Many years ago I engraved a custom made bolt action rifle that had a very fine sandblasted finish on it. It was a total pain in the backside. It made the surface slightly porous and rusted with fingerprints. Transfers (transparency ink jet) became almost impossible because of the very slight...

    Question: What Drawing Skills Are Needed for Engraving?

    Hi Brennon All good books. The Art of Engraving is almost considered the bible of engraving and has certainly launched many an engraving career, including mine. I brought it second hand at an auction, opened the pages and was completely hooked from that instant onwards. A true treasure of a...

    Question: What Drawing Skills Are Needed for Engraving?

    A very good question indeed :) Pencil and paper are the most simple art materials out there. But they are also the hardest thing to learn how to use. The only problem with videos is that it is incredibly hard to get an overview of what is happing without fast forwarding, backwards and pausing...
