    Sam Alfano’s Pendant Kit

    Hey guys and girls, I received my kit late yesterday and finally got to open this evening. My first impression was wondering how on earth I was going to be able to replicate any of this. I own Sam’s dvds on scrollwork and engraving scrollwork but do more drawing than anything. Now I haven’t...

    Help, please: Transferring Vector to black object

    Question: What kind of chair do you guys use?

    Right now I’ve got an articulating stand running off my bench to a drill press stand with my positioning vise. The chair I’m using feels like it has too much play in the back so I’m arching to engrave. I’ve always had bad posture

    Question: What kind of chair do you guys use?

    I’m looking to upgrade an old office chair that isn’t really doing the trick for my back anymore. I’ve been looking at everything from saddles, to round tops, to drum thrones. Any suggestions would be awesome and bonus points if you guys have any pictures of your set up.

    Question: Facetting machine for graver polishing?

    If you want something cheap and easy invest in some Lindsay sharpening templates and a drill press from harbor freight. I buy disc from Amazon for around $11.

    Question: Microscope Eye Shields

    Hey guys, maybe an odd question but the eye shields I got with my microscope came a little loose and I could knock them off super easy.

    Laser Toners that work with acetone to transfer engraving designs

    Help, please: Copper Inlaying techniques

    Thanks for responding monk! It is actually for hobo nickels. I believe it’s 28g dead soft copper. I have a tool made for inlaying that a good friend made me but thinking about what you’re saying I am probably hitting it to hard and too much as it flattens fast. I think my biggest issue is my...
