    Steel plates practice

    I didn't think about draw filing. I have draw filed barrels to prep them. I do finish up with 320 and some times 400. I cover the back with painters tape and attach a block with hot glue so I can lock them in a vice to finish them.

    Enset engraving system on CO2

    Another thought about using CO2. If someone is considering it they should talk to people who do a lot of paint ball games. I know of a person who does paint ball games for a main hobby. He keeps a large CO2 cylinder at his home to fill the paint ball cylinders. This enables him to keep a...

    Help, please: hand push engraving

    Winter's School of Jewelry Engraving Is a good book to study. I think it will be impossible to find a copy, but the book can be found on archive.org. You can view all the pages. Some older books have been reprinted but I don't think this one has.

    Reply to still perplexed

    Just to let every one know what I did to solve the problem. I just deleted everything and created a new file. There must have something in the file causing problems. The new file works fine. Should have done that sooner and not caused people to scratch their heads.

    It does print. The print is very bold and clear. Looking at the print on the transparency under the microscope at high magnification you can see the print is raised above the surface of the sheet. I have printed many good transfers before I changed the cartridge. There seems nothing wrong...
