    Announcement: Full time hand engraver wanted

    like those above, i seldom hand engrave items brought to me. i engrave by hand only on things i make-- buckles, pendants, fobs , and such. if i screw somethin up, i curse and toss ! i don't think one should ever take a chance on working when there's medical reason to be wary. one oh crap...

    Beginner set up

    i use diamond stones or 6" diameter disks. all are wetted with common mineral oil. all dust remains embedded or trapped in the min. oil. when time to clean a spritz of wd40 and a tooth brush works well. gravers that have relief grinds on the sides and bottom require very little during re...

    Quality of work some engraving on Chinese box?

    the part is placed on a bowl of pitch or other support medium. the design is hammerd from the back using a variety of shaped punches. tho only (engraving) if it even is engraving, would be afew tiny details on the dragon. i'm not an xpert, but i'd say the quality is rather high. as to the area...

    Engraving titanium advice

    i'd surely think .25" thick would be a bugger to bend without some sort of hydraulic power press. i got a batch of "commercial" grade. it cuts well. out of the box it has a pleasant satin finish. i never polished the stuff. did xperiment with annodizing. got some cool, but subtle color effects...
