Hi all :-) Some of my engraving and designs, some for study, some for practice and some ideas for actual engraving projects.. :-)
So this first one is an idea and a study for an actual knife I have that will be engraved.. not sure if this is the final, but started sketching. :-)
This one...
Cool, thanks a lot! :-) I often use procreate on the iPad, as I can zoom in and out while drawing to see how it looks in real size.. bout your method sounds good too! :-) The scroll drawing was just a quickie for the video.. I started the knife yesterday, and it has a different design now, but...
I think we are talking about different things :-) I don't think a bucket are going to fix the lens distortion problem.. if you see the photo I just uploaded, the pencil and the top of the computer are supposed to be straight.. and the drawers behind the computer.. :-) But the camera makes lens...
From what it looks like his profile is discontinued.. at least I can´t see it anymore, but i would not be surprised he have created another one.. so if the name is Will Richardson, I think there should ring a bell and be careful.
Oh thank you so much! :-) I have great fun composing my own music for my videos.. in that case I never have any problems with owners rights for the music.. and so much of the free music library is quite boring, in my opinion :-) Anyway, glad you liked it and noticed the music too :-)

Thanks, glad you liked it! :-) For smaller items I often use a photo too, but be ware of the lens distortion especially on phone cameras, and make sure to try to take the photo directly from the top. It can usually gets off quite a bit.. but if it´s small, it´s easy to scratch in the corrections :-)
I´m sure most of you know, at least for the more experienced engravers, but still for some new ones I think it´s a good and easy tips for how to make real size template for what you're about to engrave.. and make design ideas either to transfer or before you draw it directly to the item. :-)...
I have never tried that technique before today after reading about it yesterday.. and if I understood you right, it worked very well I have to say :-) The leaf is about 6 x 9 mm and the overlay is copper wire, but still.. :-)
Thanks for sharing that! :-)
I guess people have to make up their own mind, but I would be very careful to deal or buy anything from this seller and I suggest reading this post first: https://engraverscafe.com/threads/stolen-lindsay-palmcontrol-handpiece-seller-in-here.27739/
It´s the guy that stole a Lindsay PalmControl...
Personally I think it’s unethical and immoral to buy, copy or sell a knock off tool or any design, no matter who it is. Imagine if someone just took your design and sold it as theirs.. Anyway, I know there has been a US Federal court ordered a permanent injunction for years against him and all...
So I did my very first attempt at sculpting.. that was a lot of great fun. I was going to record it all, but found out at the end I had three hours of capturing the wall.. so I only got the beginning, for anyone interested. The coin is a Norwegian Kr. from 1991 and about an inch in diameter. For...
This is done in Procreate on the iPad, but should work similar on any photo editing program on computer or tablet.
Import a photo (obviously high quality better)
Make it black/white
Adjust a little exposure (this part you have to experiment with)
Duplicate the photo and change the blend mode to...
Glad you liked my video :-) I would have done it a little different today though.. instead of putting the gold first, I would have engraved all the outlines and then put the gold.. then backgroound removal and shading at last :-)
I really enjoyed every episode, and it’s actually often some things to pick up.. either technique, idea or just how people work..
Looking forward to every new show! :-)
You say you are fascinated by the engraving, you want to learn engraving and now you are looking at the engravings with a more educated eye..
May I ask what education or experience you are talking about? Have you started to learn engraving or tried to engrave at all?
Since you say the 10k...
