    styles of engraving

    your work seems to be without much shading. i'd agree with tfacarving. i'd call your style line engraving as well. thanks for joining and showing yer work.

    Newbie question

    if you cant find an adaptor, it should be easy enough to fashion one using a small wood lathe. no lathe, you can make one of plastic or wood by careful shaping using a drillpress. any well equipped plumbing shop should be able to conjur up an affordable adaptor to do this. you'll need an...

    Breaking my engraving tip

    what material are you practicing on ? my advice is to use copper at first. esp. with the knife graver. these are buggers on the harder metals. try a 120 graver. these can produce extremely fine cuts in a wide variety of materials. look at sams' tutorial on fine shading. he uses power assisted...

    you asked, so here goes-- the design is quite attractive in its own right. but i think it clashes with the scroll and central panel. the leek would look better in a central panel with scroll on either side. this would exclude the critter, but what is the visual "theme" here ? is the leek more...

    Air compressor pressure

    you should set it at just a pound or so psi. if insufficient, graduually increase till you get results. 200 psi would likely blow the hoses off the fittings. i don't know about the artisan, but most of the air toys i'm familiar with operate on the cfm rather than the psi. the lindsay air...

    Tarnish on nickle silver

    i've used common brasso on nickel silver. and have used lacquer or wax with good results. using lacquer on objects that get handled a lot, sometimes chipping will occur.
