    Just Finished Sam’s Intensive IPad Design and Engraving Class

    Gwen, I believe they use ProCreate program and an Apple pencil. But I will leave it for Sam A. or one of his students to verify that.

    When you're a guest I guess nothing beats insulting your HOST.

    Engraving Hammer Styles

    Thanks, that is a good tip King Sam. There are times I use my small rawhide mallet on my metal graver handles and notice the tips last longer. Especially on gummy metals.

    Engraving Hammer Styles

    My grandfather was a master wood carver and forbade me to strike a wooden handled chisel or tool with a metal headed hammer. Some of my liners are in wood handles and I drive them using a very small rawhide mallet. But I mostly use square metal graver handles to provide hand felt orientation...

    GRS Microblock uneven friction

    Sorry for my post. The post that it was purchased from Artsupport came in while I was typing (slowly). I'm sure Artsupport and GRS will make it right.

    GRS Microblock uneven friction

    Sorry for your problem. Sounds as if the center shaft and hole are not on true center. Are you sure it's a genuine GRS product, or could it be a knock-off ???

    Ray Viramontez engraved gun

    You are correct JJ. Ray was a great guy and a very caring, giving gentleman. He had a love of engraving and a desire to help those with a desire to learn the skill.

    Scroll stamp pad rubber

    GRS made them out of CLEAR plastic. A great aid in placing them on the work if you kept the plastic background clean. Not quite the same, but Ngraver made a set of plastic scroll templates for use with a fine lead pencil. Check, both companies may still have some stock for sale.

    Need info

    The melting point of copper is 1984 degrees F. as you probably know. Most original charcoal pack heat case color hardening is at 2010 degrees, if memory serves. I have not tried this myself with copper inlays. But would advise consulting Doug Turnbull for info. He does great color case work...

    Scroll stamp pad rubber

    GRS used to sell them. I haven't seen them in their recent catalogs though. Maybe someone has an old set they want to sell. Try an ad in the Buy/Sell section of the Cafe Forum.
