    that unit may be elderly, but with proper care and using the correct oil may well outlast you. these units are real workhorses.

    Relief tools

    dreml tools are not really suitable for any serious detail work. the bearings in the tool will allow too much wobble. i suggest getting an nsk brand rotary tool. no wobble to deal with, and far easier to control. the lions share of sculpting/detailing should be done with gravers and small...

    Relief engraving tools and tips

    just guessing here: you'd likely be better off starting with just surface work without a lot of attempt at relief. one must crawl a bit before trying to run a marathon. you will have to become adept at using the basic gravers before attempting to do sculpting and shaping. there's videos on such...

    Background dots

    breaking the punch: you're working on steel that is too hard. anneal first if possible. perhaps you're working with punches of inferior grade. quality punches can be counted on for quite a lot of service. buy a graded set.

    Looking for engraver for medieval breastplate

    would the base be done first? or the applique? i would think one would have to have been made to "fit" the other.

    Engraved 1953 Beretta

    john: do you think those "factory engravers" were given some sort of design transfer to apply? or did they just let the graver do what it wanted to do ? just curious as to the layout part of it.

    Engraved 1953 Beretta

    if pattern transfers were available of such work, just the barest outline, i'd say there was a time i could have done this in maybe 15 hours. and at that time i was in no way ,time wise,. able to compete with the factory "boys and girls".

    Looking for engraver for medieval breastplate

    are you sure that it is engraving that you seek? none of this you show is engraving. these pieces look as though the design was done from †he back using various punches †o create the raised designs in the front. engraving is done from the front of the piece and is composed of rather shallow cut...

    Graver blank Help!

    you will need to grind a bit of a flat on the back of the blank. just enough to allow insertion into the handpiece. since the blank is round, the flat spot will assist you in indexing the blank when you sharpen it. i don't want to spend yer money, but-- you will need a sharpening system. do...

    Essential gravers

    square, round, flat, and perhaps an onglette or knife blank. for a newb, i think it's best to learn the effect one gets from each tool. you'll learn the subtle difference each tool requires in handling, as well as the type cut each produces. to pick just one, i'd say that the square would be...
