    Drawing on the work

    i have found black or dark blue magic marker takes pencil well. doesn't flake when cutting. if you like white, there's a number of white markers for glass windows. i have a couple but have never experimented with them as yet. they may work in concert with the spray you already use. there's...

    Cigar Tube

    i forgot. there's a metal material called "jigging metal". it can fill the tube safely. it can be melted with very hot water. leaves no residue. enough to fill the tube--- maybe 60 or so bucks at mcmaster carr. i had a disaster years ago with it. i supported a piece of gold jewelry for repair...

    Cigar Tube

    never did one. thermoloc or hotmelt glue might go a long way to secure it to a wood block. if it's flimsy, it would be wise to stuff the tube with a matching wood dowel to give it stiffness.

    Drawing on curved work

    drawing, and drawing well is a prerequisite for any quality engraving. learning compound curves requires practice. maybe lots of it. get yerself a few pieces of plumbing fittings. sand down till smooth.. elbows will sort of be like a loading gate or recoil shield on a revolver. the bottom of an...

    Plating?

    i've only had otorcycle parts plated. the engraving was deep enough that there was no noticeable loss of detail. extremely fine cutting would likely suffer some loss. i've also brush plated a few parts. the brush technique is just a "poormans" way to do things. some of the brushwork was done on...

    Help, please: Help a newb starting his journey from blank

    i'm not sure if the lindsay and grs qc holders are the same. i don't use them. i just use the gravers directly in the sharpener, then to the graver holder. the lindsay tool requires a compressor or a tank of carbon dioxide. i think a paintball tank would soon run out of air. a special regulator...
