    ceramic lap

    Does any one out there wash their ceramic laps? Is it possible to do this to change from .5 micron to .25micron or will washing it just be a waste of time and money because the two will mix?

    Question: air graver vs. hammer/push graver

    I have been practicing hand push script lettering. I suggest you try it. Putting lettering on items for people is a way to make some money to get that air system. Winter's School of Jewelry Engraving is a good source for information. If you can find it. I use a no. 45 flat and a 105 degree...

    More on laserjet transparency transfers

    One thing to remember about using transfers is that the more junk you put on your work the more dirt and junk you are cutting as well. It can get messy. There is more info about transfers on this forum you could spend most of the day reading them all.

    Micromotor vs flex shaft

    I have a flex shaft Dremel. There is a slight oscillation that will brake my stone setting drills every time. It is not noticeable except under high magnification. Maybe it is just my Dremel but I would stay away.

    FAKE Nimschke

    As I look at the scroll and how they are cut it appears to me that these were cut with a pneumatic hand engraver. I say that because of the smooth cuts showing that there is no indication that it was done with hammer and chisel. Someone tell me if you are thinking the same as I do.

    Any script engravers on this forum?

    Sam Alfano has a DVD that will give good instructions. I think you could purchase it from this site. Also, I have been practicing hand engraved script without any assistance from a pneumatic hand piece, Just hand push, I have found that it is not that difficult.

    Experience with Transparency Film?

    I use Pictorico OHP Transparency Film. I think I got it on Amazon. I also bought some film from Tom White. They look the same. My printer is an HP envy 5540. Ink is no. 62. Some times I get 3 to 4 transfers from a single printing. It is not a jet black transfer but easy to see and you...

    Experience with Transparency Film?

    I suggest you try a Prismacolor blending marker, 40% gray, in place of Tom's White's solution. I don't know if the liquid in the marker is the same stuff as Tom White's but it seems to work exactly in the same way. You can find the markers at most arts and crafts stores.
