    How much to charge?

    Welcome Sebastian, for a few months in you appear to be practicing an assortment of styles. I’m a beginner as well, I think you’ll find that you’ve just made the first big step into ”getting yourself out there”. Doing some showing and asking some of these fine gentlemen here for advise will lead...

    Critique Request Spyderco knife design help

    Hello Slavs, I’m a beginner and have zero design ability so please forgive my critique and scribbling on your design. The red seems to disappear into nothing. The blue and green appear from nowhere. The yellow splits behind that other leaf but both seem to not quite line up. And the purple...

    Practice plate “Sam’s design” first attempt beveling

    Good evening gentlemen, just wanted to post this plate as I was quite surprised at the results. I have only recently switched from copper to steel, as such have always inked my copper plates for viewing. Combined with a “one step at a time approach“ beveling cuts has been a variable I didn’t...

    Which Ron Smith book?

    The first book is still in transit. I very much agree with Doctorslava as I was lucky enough to meet and listen to Ron, He couldn’t be a more humble and wisdom filled man. After reading the beginning of his second book you may realize you are embarking on not only a journey into a wonderful art...

    Critique Request Flowing Fine Scroll Experiment

    Very interesting Crossbolt, you should definitely pursue this alternative design. I guess it takes a bit more imagination to calculate destruction which draws the eye in for further understanding… it is enjoyable view.

    Which Ron Smith book?

    AJB, looking pretty good. Totally love the washer canvas. Iv had Ron‘s 2nd book for a while but a couple of weeks ago decided to take a step back and order the 1st… anyway when shopping I noticed that amazon and eBay have the prices quite a bit higher than GRS.com. Good luck and have a good one.

    Announcement: First Knife “A learning Experience”

    Marc, I like the take on most people, recon that’s been the case for most of the little bit of showing to friends and coworkers, didn’t ever really think about it but most reactions have been pretty positive with design and a little more impressed with the practice of engraving. I do have one...

    Announcement: First Knife “A learning Experience”

    Good evening Monk, Just to clarify are you saying knifes in general are poor subjects or just the blade part itself? Thank you for encouraging more practice Iv been leaning more heavily on practice cutting and have neglected drawing “cutting bits and pieces of designs from Sam’s ornate...

    Announcement: First Knife “A learning Experience”

    Allen, thanks for advise recon I thought the scrolls could be a little free spirited in size thinking back probably picked that up doodlen. Got a cheap pair of dividers last week had been using a compass for centering stuff but wasn’t much use for a tiny border. Hadn’t ever considered having...

    Announcement: First Knife “A learning Experience”

    Good evening gentlemen, I toiled away at whether to show this but as I did learn several lessons and it’s basically my first knife I figured why not. Ill try and describe “what had happened was” during this process not as an excuse but how I ended up here and why I stopped haha. First things...

    critique request. first folding knife

    Welcome Lonepine, you’ve found the right place for knowable advice, and helpful design critique and suggestions ”not from me as I’m very green haha” but for a first knife I’d say its a very good start. Since you’ve completed this project already there’s little that can be suggested that wont...

    Critique Request First time ever showing my work

    Good evening JB, allow me to apologize I lack the proper amount of design proficiency and understanding of leaf/scroll progression to critique in a knowledgeable manner… but here’s what I was trying to “understand” and forgive me for drawing on your piece. It wasn’t the border to stem that...

    Air pressur and Engraving handpice

    Mohammad, I recognize that hand piece... I wanted to be sure I had the minerals before buying a expensive setup and purchased that hand piece with a control box and foot pedal. So your current problem is your missing half the system. Your second problem is “as hard as it is to say” is even with...
