    sculpting by Mr. Alfano

    I have not heard of that. I don’t get cramps but after 40+ years of engraving my right hand does get stiff and I’ve had cortisone injections.

    Coarse grit sharpening?

    I vaguely remember Sam, and it must have been you that got me using 600 face/1200 heel as well, because that's all I've used for a very long time. I found this in an email from 2013 from one of my GRS colleagues that worked with Alexandre at a show in Switzerland. "About the C-Max left in the...

    Coarse grit sharpening?

    Years ago I remember Alexandre Sidorov talking about switching to a coarse grit sharpening from his usual high polish sharpening, and finding that it extended the life of the graver. I also think Sam Welch might have agreed on that and used something similar. I wish I could find that old thread...

    Help, please: Practice Template

    I'm sorry you had trouble with this, but I'm not sure what the problem is. If you type the URL as printed on the DVD label it takes you directly to the page to download the practice design. I just tested it in 3 different browsers. Have fun, and I'm happy you like the video :)

    Do wider gravers make shinier cuts?

    My Cmax 120s make brighter cuts than my Cmax 105s. The 1200 grit sharpening is the same with no additional polishing, but they are brighter.

    Homemade pneumatic graver

    If you're making copies of Lindsay's handpieces and you're in the USA, you're in violation of his patent if it's still current. Even if it's not for sale and for personal use. Sorry.

    Coming soon...sculpting video

    This has been in the queue for a long time and it's finally coming to fruition. Deep relief sculpting on a stainless steel pendant. If you've not done sculpting, it's one of the most satisfying forms of hand engraving there is. Details will be made available later. Cheers!

    Seeking photography advise

    Sorry Dan, I've read your post a few times and I see the discrepancies in the colored outlines vs. the engraving, but I'm still not understanding what you're doing. I'm sure it's me. But I will tell you this, and that is if you're using a mobile phone camera, they are approximately a 28mm...

    Laser Toners that work with acetone to transfer engraving designs

    While there I read an article by a flat earther who said that Australia doesn't exist. The whole thing is a charade and even airline pilots are in on it. They fly you around for several hours and you deplane thinking you're in Australia, but you're actually somewhere else and all the people you...

    Laser Toners that work with acetone to transfer engraving designs

    We used to use brake cleaner in the GRS classrooms some 20 odd years ago. It worked quite well.
