    So I just ordered Steve Lindsay's Bench Jewel graver.

    Being a hobby engraver and retired at that I just can't see the expense of his palm engraver setup. I guess when it arrives I'll give it a road test. In the mean time has anyone else used one of these gravers?

    help! guidance needed.

    My drawing skills are weak , for the most part I favor line drawing. I may never be an artist but I what to be a craftsman. If I can cut drawings found on the internet I will get better. My wife grins when thinking of my artistic ability. I doubt I will ever be able to draw a cat like the...

    Kinda New Here

    Some good workmanship from what I can see. Did you start with a hammer chisel or power assisted graver? Autistic Spectrum kids live in my area and they can be quite accomplished. One in particular is really into basket ball and has a fetish for basket ball shoes. His is also quite musical.

    Trouble with laser printer transfers

    I have trouble with finding the right printer too. I went to the local copy express. their printer does transfers just fine . My Dell 825 printer works a little but theirs works better.

    Most of my plates are steel, I have done some in brass and one in copper. Man, I really dont like copper. What do some of you more experienced engravers think?
