    Engraving finishes

    For engraving that sees lots of outdoor exposure I have used several products with limited success. Everything from waxes to build up finishes of lacquer and other clear coat finishes. I have recently tried and think to date this is the best of the lot for appearance, protection and...

    Cleaning old Engraving

    I agree with you about the electric tooth brush. Chujy's idea is a winner. My mind went crazy dreaming up attachements I could make for various operations in my gunwork.

    Question: Sandblasting or beadblasting

    My 2 cents - All of the above is right on and should be taken to heart! If by "cold" blue you mean the traditional rust bluing. SS will not rust! Therefore it can not be blued by this mean and/or this mean can not be used for the "French Greying" process. If cold blue means the coloring of...

    Stipple Point

    Yes, you must in some manner off-set the rods. I fined that by chucking it in a QC holder of the size of rod and tightening the screw off-set it a little and in some cases enough but using a holder of the next size(1/16 rod in a 3/32 qc) also works. I have also used a very thin shim on one jaw...

    Stipple Point

    The 45-60deg point is eccentric, putting the point on one side of the rod. Sorry for the fog!

    Stipple Point

    I am sure many have thought and do this but have not seen it posted. I use either HSS(cobalt) or Carbide rounds of 1/16, 3/32 and 1/8 " for stipple points. I chuck them in a battery run drill grind a relief angle of "approx"(eyeball!) 5-10 degrees then a point of "approx" 45-60 degrees. I set...

    ? Drop shadows

    Thank you both this is exactly the instruction I was needing. I had not looked closely at a sample of drop shadowing to determine the process. Just as you pictured T.G.III. I can clearly see it in your example.

    ? Drop shadows

    In creating drop shadows relative to lettering. Some are simple single cut lines others are larger. My question is with the larger. Are they made by cutting several lines, stippled, recessed stippled/textured to give the appearance of a shadow. I am assuming the use of a darkening agent such...
