    scroll

    Well done. Keep practicing and concentrate on just cutting the scroll backbones until you get them a little smoother. You are doing well. Just my advise, for what it is worth.

    points

    Hi Papart, Usually in engraving terms "Single Point" is referring to the method of creating the shading . Shading cut with a single point graver rather than with the use of a multi-line lining tool.

    Help, please: engraving copper

    sharpening

    An easy way to heel a graver without a sharpening fixture. Use a piece of round drill rod as a base. Usually 1/8" or 3/16" round works best. Pinch the graver between thumb and forefinger while extending it about 3/4 or one inch beyond the drill rod. Touch the bottom edge of the graver to the...
