    Procreate brushes

    I really like the couple Pencils in Sam's brush set. I draw exclusively with those for the most part.

    bulino

    Very nice, I'm still having trouble learning bulino. I want to see the work flow of someone at work to see how quickly they make their dots or cuts. How quickly do you pick away. I'd prefer to learn correct bulino with metal removal and not just stipple type dots but can hardly find much good...

    graver geometry chart.

    I think the easiest formula for graver angles is as follows. Start at 180° and subtract the graver angle you want to make. Let's say I wanted to know how to make a 105° graver. 180-105=75 then divide that in half or (2) which is 37.5° shape each side at that angle and you'll end up with a 105...

    Marcus Hunt's English Fine Scroll Available

    I figured that might be the case! Thank you for the response Sam, I appreciate it. I'll just have to keep an eye out incase he does tease it again. In the meantime I think I found all that I need in Ken Hunts IG posts from his sketchbook. I think there's more information on proper english scroll...

    Marcus Hunt's English Fine Scroll Available

    I seriously can't find out anything about this Dvd/book. It's like there's a flash sale every couple years and it's very limited like a lottery. Marcus Hunts website has been down for months, no response on here, from email or Instagram, social media etc. Does anyone know if there any way of...

    Shading by Sam Alfano

    Hey Sam I've been thinking a lot about my shading lately as I do tend to over shade. It looks good (or is looking better.... Haha) but I am working on not over doing it. I'm curious about your thoughts on this. So for example on your "over shaded" piece here. If you were to shade this same piece...

    Tutorial: Flare/Transition Cut tutorial by Roger Bleile

    Where was this when I was trying to learn flare? Haha. I always find what I needed after the fact but nevertheless I'm happy to have found it. There was definitely information I didn't know and I learned from the tutorial still. Side note I'm pretty sure this is the only flare cut tutorial on...

    Scorpers

    This is very similar to the MR.the or Paulo Curcio template on Lindsay's site. I have scoured the internet for info on scorpers and have found the Mr.The background flat template to be right on. Just an FYI for anyone interested.

    good old hand tools

    The onglette was the first graver I learned to sharpen and has always been the easiest to sharpen by hand for myself personally. I suppose this obviously means that it comes down to each individual. Still today the onglette is about the only tool I sharpen by hand and I use it 100% for general...

    Deep relief engraving

    Thanks for taking the time to reply John, I greatly appreciate it. I've been thinking a lot about deeper relief work and clean sidewalls. And it got me thinking that if I want to do a sculpture or just a deep relief background that maybe the initial outline cuts should try to be cut to the depth...

    Deep relief engraving

    Hey John thanks for the tips from your process. Do you use the same graver for both steps? Like 120 on first accent cuts and also on the secondary away cuts into the field or background? Or do you switch to a 90 or different geometry for the secondary cuts? Just curious, I know most seem to use...

    Question: Lathe chuck as a vise

    Last reply, here is the link to Steve's video which is an intro to Hobo Nickle carving tools and coin engraving. Good news, I didn't notice before in the description that Steve made a part 2 to this video and sells it for $33 bucks. From what I've seen that's a heck of a deal! His email is in...

    Question: Lathe chuck as a vise

    After writting about Steve Adam's Lathe Chuck vises I went back to have another look at his videos because it had been a while since I first watched them. I didn't realize how well done his videos are! The video quality, along with the video angles, closeups and editing are very professionally...

    Question: Lathe chuck as a vise

    Sorry if someone has already mentioned it as I didn't have a lot of time to read everything over but go check out Steve Adam's Videos on YouTube and check out his lathe Chuck vises he shows. They are pretty awesome. He has 2 I believe and the smaller of the 2 he locks into the larger one for...

    black paint?

    I've also wondered how this stuff is? But I also wonder if it's just a type of enamel flat black paint and the solvent is just a typical paint solvent. So it may just be expensive paint and solvent. Would love to hear if anyone has used it and what their thoughts are
