    any advice on engraving naa pistol?

    I'm currently working on engraving an old north american arms mini magnum but my graver keeps chipping with in the first half inch or so. I'm using c-max gravers with geometries from 90 to 120 at 1300 strokes per minute. I've used these gravers before on Spyderco stainless and it did just fine...

    Micromotor vs flex shaft

    i have started with a dremmel rotary tool with the flex shaft that has one me well in normal carving and will get me some good detail however as previously stated they do have a lot of slop so i tend to steer away from using them for straight down cuts when trying to stone set. maybe there is...

    critique/ideas?

    If I were to make it as a pendant it would more than likely either go into a screw on bezel or I would make one out of wax and cast it

    critique/ideas?

    I'm thinking of making this piece either into a silver pendant or a heads and tails decision coin but am not sure how to do the tails side (maybe a dragon) but let me know what you think so far and let me know if you've got any ideas

    Critique Request Silver charm/ gold inlay

    conceptually i love the idea and visually i really like the contrast and most of the cuts seem to be fairly even as far as depth. i would say for a small charm without going super crazy i think it looks good. on a criticism note if you were going for a more realistic idea of bamboo keep in mind...

    Sources for engraveable pendants, bracelets etc
