    Question: How to shape objects when engraving?

    I feel like I have a college degree in rotary tools now! Thank you for the information. I actually have an air tool called an NSK presto that I use for detail carving in wood but hadn't considered using it as a metal sculpting aid. Ide be worried honestly about it getting away from me, it spins...

    Question: How to shape objects when engraving?

    Is that something that attaches to a foredom? I dont believe I've seen anything like that done before.

    Western bright cut, video question.

    Thank you Sir for the information, I hope you dont think I was denigrating your product or efforts that was not my intent. I'll probably amass a collection of several videos over time, I'm just trying to make the best purchase decision with my limited capital. Again thank you for taking the...

    Flying!

    Not going to lie Sir that video made me nervous as all hell. I fly only when absolutely required, "Props" to you for picking up such an amazing skill. But I think I'll keep my feet on ole terra firma.

    Western bright cut, video question.

    That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I knew that there had to be a significant difference to justify the cost differential. Overall were you pleased with the video? Good production quality and all that?

    Western bright cut, video question.

    I've been looking into bright cut more and more, and hear Diane Scalese name mentioned again and again. My question is this I've found a training DVD by her on grs for 129$ and another on FEGA for about 40$ . For those that might be in the know what is the difference between these 2...

    Published November 2019. The Art of Champleve Enameling and Engraving

    I'm glad you have posted these, your other posts make so much more sense to me now that I can understand how the process is done. I was seeing the finished product and not following how it all came to be. Very interesting process, how did you come to be practicing the art sir?

    Ball vice mount

    I wouldn't want to bother the poor gentleman, as hanging has gone out of favor here in Kentucky for some time now. And it would be the height of rudeness to call him back into service on account of my sorry neck. If it's all the same to you, I'll be trying the shelf or drill press method...

    Announcement: Celtic Line Drawing eBook

    I'm not Tom but you might want to check that you have the latest version of kindle for your iPad. I ran into that issue reading Tom's book on my android phone, turns out I had an old version that couldn't open the file. A clean update and its working fine.

    Ball vice mount

    That looks to be the very thing I need! A vice shelf, I could not for the life of me think of correct search criteria. I'm rather short for a man, and I'm already in the tallest stool I find comfortable so this should drop it low enough for stable use. Thanks again!
