    Announcement: Diffused LED ring light - New release.

    I have had one of Leonardo's lights for a few years now, and it's absolutely excellent in every regard. Superb craftsmanship and it illuminates beautifully without harsh glare typical of many LED lights.

    These backbones are pretty good and would cut well. As for the design, I don't think it's a good one with the two scrolls facing each other. But I applaud your efforts. This is how it's done, one scroll at a time. And we all have about 500 bad scrolls in us that we have to draw out.

    Very clever, Mike! Love those gold inlaid playing card suits. Beautifully executed and designed, and I sincerely hope every engraver takes a long look at your deep, reflective cutting. You're obviously not afraid to get into the steel and the payback is great. Very well done!

    Question: 901 air tac handpiece modification

    Thank you for your kind words, Mike :) My handpiece was modded by DJ Glaser of Glendo several years ago. As you said, it's a shortened barrel with a slight graver cut near the hole in the knob that actuates the Airtact. GRS used to have the instructions on their site but they were lost during a...

    The scroll on the left with the checkmark next to it is in an awkward location. You should find another solution for that area. A couple of your spirals are ok but the rest are not. It's critically important to have a perfect spiral before you start cutting. If you simply want to throw some...

    Thanks for your feedback Ralf. The chapter list issue is really odd. I will contact the company that hosts my videos and see if I can get that fixed. Glad everything is working for you and I'll be anxious to see your flare cutting results :)

    Sharpening systems on ebay?

    A GRS Dual Angle fixture can sharpen nearly any conceivable geometry you will need. It can be used with a bench stone as well as a PowerHone or GraverHone. It's the predecessor to the Apex and is an excellent sharpener. Crockers suck. Don't waste your money. Keep in mind that sharpening for...

    Critique Request keytag design to silver pendant

    I think your design has potential with a few tweaks. It's screaming for some outer work which will really fill in and balance the outside areas. Be careful with over polishing or sanding your work after it's shaded. If it needs deburring do that before shading. Once shading is done I don't...
