    Question: Andu Engraver

    I feel I can chime in on this one. When getting started I bought an Andu handpiece. It worked well enough for me to enjoy engraving and learing. I was fortunate enough to try out a GSR GraverMach AT and I instantly bought the GraverMach setup. The Andu works okay for medium sized scroll...

    Laser Printer drawing transfers

    I have noticed that sometimes when the design won't come off the parchment paper, I can carefully apply a small amount of fingernail polish remover to the parchment paper, let dry and burnish again.

    Darkening backgrounds

    Honestly I have tried almost all the different variations to blacken my engravings. Honestly getting paint or whatever to stick into fine shadding lines has been the most frustrating part of leaning this art.

    opinions please

    Thanks all for you input. I ended up doing a bit of both the full circles and the individual arcs.

    opinions please

    Looking for opinions from other experienced engravers. I am doing this geometric pattern, if you were cutting it, would you cut each circle and let the pattern develop or would you cut each small arc?

    Illustrator for ipad

    I have used procreate and I like it a lot but it is not vector based so scaling stuff is challenging. I have recently been playing with Afinity Designer which is vector based and can do a lot but I have been unable to get the brushes to act just like procreate.

    Marcus Hunt's English Fine Scroll

    I know this is not the correct place but for some reason I can't post in the classified section. Does anyone have Marcus' book/DVD they would be interested in selling?

    B&L Stereozoom 4 Barlow lens question

    It seems that this scope uses a 38mm objective lens which seems hard to find. Does anybody make an adapter to use a more common thread? Thanks Travis

    Ball Vise Questions

    So I bought a $120 ball vise on Amazon after reading a bunch of reviews. Now I have not used a Lindsay or a GRS so I can't say anything other than the people who have those vises say they are very nice. My import vise was not real usable right out of the box, the tolerances were bad, when I...

    Trouble with laser printer transfers

    I just bought a Canon Imageclass MF264dw and it works great with acetone. I struggled forever trying to get my inkjet to work and finally broke down and bought a laser printer....wish I would have bought it first.
