    English fine scroll -- layout on paper

    Here's something I drew at double size, which I will reduce by 50%... just to practice. I don't love the design, but figured it might look better once cut. The thought was to fill a corner of a square plate...i know there still needs to be outside work for the bottom of the triangle, which...

    English fine scroll -- layout on paper

    Trying to learn it. Can't get ahold of Marcus Hunt's book so going from what I've seen here and youtube. Question: what do you like to do when drawing it out to prep a transfer. Do you just draw the scroll backbones throughout? Do you draw backbone plus initial lines for each inner leave? Or...

    Dot punch backgrounds opinions

    Dot punch backgrounds opinions

    Thanks for the thoughtful replies. So far, what I'm gleaning is that to look good and convey a high-quality visual: a) dot punch must be done flawlessly, with each dot touching and not overlapping and b) it is mostly suitable for firearms and looks out of place on other pieces (usually but not...

    Dot punch backgrounds opinions

    does anyone else think dot punch backgrounds tend to look like lowbudget work? I am trying to like them and was practicing with different size beading punches to see the differences, but just can't convince myself it looks good. Anyone share the same opinion? Anyone think that dot punch...

    Avoiding oxidation/rust on mild steels

    SamW what do you prefer to use to buff the Renaissance wax? If there are bright, deep cuts, I find the wax gets things cloudy and minimizes the luster

    Avoiding oxidation/rust on mild steels

    Thanks for the recommendation re Rig. I will definitely get some of it. I should have been clearer-- I specifically am referring to the finishing stages. Say you've engraved the project and arent going to blacken or blue or electroplate etc. Is there anything recommended that helps avoid rust...
