    Critique request Celtic High Cross

    I love it. My first thoughts for critique were that sanding after engraving is ok (I know a contested subject, but the deformation around cuts that catches the light bothers me as does surafce scuffing); and that the branch stems looked a bit thick compared to the leaves hanging off them, but...

    Thats very good 'beginner engraving'. Your tool control is good. People used to often tell me to go into tatoos, I'd reply, "I don't like squirming canvases".

    Hoping for Inlay Tips

    thanks for those replies folks. If i have this right getting the copper (or silver) hot enough to a dull glow (wouldn't matter if you got it up to near melting) is the part that softens it. I think the quench part is just impatience/lack of desire to stand around a few minutes while it cools...

    Hoping for Inlay Tips

    Annealing copper. sure it gets dead soft when heated to a soft glow, but if I wipe it with sandpaper to get the scale?/soot off it ends up harder than when it started. I have some ferric chloride and i have some citric acid, should I be using that instead?

    Hoping for Inlay Tips

    I think my bulino effort rather sucks so don't terribly need lots of backup there, need more practice. Have there been many new bulino engraving resources released in the last 5 years or so?

    Hoping for Inlay Tips

    I am still wondering why my graver tip chipped something like 400 times through the engraving of this knife. This resulted in many slip repairs and some occurred right at the last couple of strokes which sucked. I could not believe how hard it was to make the undercuts and how quickly trying...

    Class The Magic of Monograms

    I'm thinking of buying that. the one I can get in Australia is technically slightly over A4. has anyone tried printing with it? why was it recommended by you sir? would you be printing on it then heat transferring? I'm guessing the ink wouldn't rub off onto damar varnish the way it does on...

    no, I mean leave some white space where the green is so that when the background is removed the shapes are crisp and clear. I was thinking I should have made that clearer

    How much is involved with claiming a copyright on a drawing?

    Printable drawings for practice plates

    I am listening folks. I do respect copyright and not undermining folks ability to make a living doing their thing. but it feels a little like we tell folk to learn how to engrave in a similar way to someone being told to go learn to speak Japanese, but don't copy anyone else's words and...
