    I think I could learn much from you

    Critics welcomed !

    I see a few places that will be tricky to shade and I look forward to seeing how you will go about it. I've gotten into wood carving and discovered that my 2d understanding of scrollwork was entirely inadequate and I had to learn from scratch what scrolls should look like in 3d. complex can be...

    Sam Faraway's engraving

    If I'm not mistaken it looks like he's paid staking flatly removed all background, no 'cheating' with single cuts giving the illusion of removed background. It's really good work. Thankyou for sharing

    Hoping for Inlay Tips

    I've had a go this afternoon at making some Sam style inlay chisels. how close did i get Sam? I dubbed the two tips minusculey but I wasn't sure how to go about rounding her any. I couldn't find my hammers so I opened my Lindsay palm control all the way to jackhammer setting, 60psi. heavy...

    Hoping for Inlay Tips

    Yes. I'm working on a titanium knife scale and have it in thermoloc in an aluminium frame that the vice holds solidly in it's leather jaws. I'm not sure if that's solid enough but I think so. Sam, when you go about putting lines of soft iron into a pocket beside each other, what method of...

    Hoping for Inlay Tips

    I have a commission and well, I'm rusty. I'm having trouble getting my inlay to stick. I was wondering if folk might post pictures or videos of their favorite techniques. I'd love to better wrap my head around how Barry Lee Hands uses a round point to make his 'undercuts' and I was...

    RIP Firmo Fracassi

    In my mind the greatest engraver ever. His book of his and his daughter's engraving is one of my most treasured possessions. Rest in peace. The world has lost one of the greats.

    One year of engraving

    I started with calligraphy and drawing, then leatherwork, then chipcarving in wood, then glass engraving, then metal engraving. I've gotten myself some enamels but as yet have no oven or torch and I am keen to do some clear enamels over engraving and have set myself up with a small torch and...

    One year of engraving

    Your animals are grand SarahLadd. Your scrollwork is good too for how long you've been engraving. I've just started trying to do scrolls and leaves in 3D woodcarving and it breaks the brain trying to decide how it should be even after doing it for ages in 2D engraving. I was wandering whether...

    Microscope setup to avoid back and neck pain.

    Do you worry about your vice landing on your foot or have you taken measures to prevent this? I guess that's a bonus for those self-centering vices which replace a turntable for small jobs, you could lean those as much as you liked.

    Microscope setup to avoid back and neck pain.

    I have pictured here re-attached my objective lens I think it's called which increases the distance between scope and workpiece when focused by a good couple of inches. That has me sitting significantly differently and now I'm wishing I hadn't asked my knifemaker friend, Adam Parker, to cut...

    Microscope setup to avoid back and neck pain.

    I also get significant pain in my neck, every other day though but engraving does tend to set it off. It's like a neck tension migraine, which i get every second or third day on average. My muscles given any provocation like to curl up into little balls and try to pull the opposing muscles...
