    Breaking my engraving tip

    If you're engraving and not stonesetting, then I would encourage you to use a square graver or wider geometry V-graver. Knife gravers are very fragile and not generally used for hand engraving.

    Good, inexpensive, engraveable knife?

    I ordered one of these and it looks fine. I haven't cut it yet. It was recommended to me by another engraver.

    Marcus Hunt's English Fine Scroll Available

    Unfortunately you'll have to pick up a used copy if you can. Marcus sells out and then it's usually a long time before he releases them again. Not sure why other than the trouble he probably has to go through to have books and DVDs printed, not to mention the aggravation of shipping.

    I hate lettering

    When I started I wasn’t so interested in in lettering but I got so many requests that I learned it out if necessity...and I’m glad I did. It’s made me a better engraver.

    Building your own vise?

    That's what I was thinking about the low depth of the jaws, but some taller jaw plates could be installed to give it more depth, and I might make different handle for it. Looks pretty good to me, and the price is very reasonable.
