    Announcement: I'm Retired

    Respectfully, still working at something we love isn't exactly "retired", it's just living life on our own terms. Sold my commercial building in 2014, moved the stuff I can't live without into my home studio (former) garage, and life has been good. Still do as much work as I want to do, but...

    Help, please: Trying to get back into engraving. Brain-stuck

    The GRS plan is a good one. I'd keep that option right on the front burner. Having the right equipment for acetone transfers is also key. Using the wrong copier/printer for output can make one's life miserable. There are several threads on the forum which discuss which copiers/printers will...

    There's a little one word link at the bottom of my post. "watch". Here it is again. Enjoy! watch

    Question: Throwback to an old thread

    They do put on a great show! Amazingly versatile too. Love their latin stuff. Don't know if you like Cajun music, Mitch but I came across this playlist on YouTube and aside from the occasional ads, it's great! There's a little bluegrass, and old country mixed in too, but I love it all! watch

    Restoration of an old Boutet's flintlock pistol

    Travaux de restauration fantastiques! Vraiment détaillé et original à tous égards. Votre petit-fils se souviendra de cette expérience pour toujours et, espérons-le, la transmettra à ses propres enfants. Quelle merveilleuse tradition! Merci beaucoup de partager cela avec cette communauté...

    Critique Request Bird template, less funny name this time.

    The only way you absolutely avoid copying someone else's work is to start your project with a clean sheet of paper. Absolutely blank. You start from scratch and draw from ideas, memory, and impression. If you're lucky enough to have your own photo of whatever you're drawing, you can start with...

    CANON D 530 Copier

    I was under the impression that for Pictorico transfers, one needs to use an inkjet with colorfast ink, and Prismacolor cool grey markers.

    Question: leonardos light

    Just ordered yesterday. It’s shipping from Argentina, so will probably take some time to arrive.

    Announcement: My new video ADVANCED SHADING Master Class

    Got it. Really excited about this one, Sam! Been watching for it since you teased it on Instagram. For me it's a bit like Christmas on Cinco de Mayo!

    Thanks, Joern. As I said, your background work is excellent! I've been using very small flats. A 36 or 37 cut even narrower to allow me to get into tight spots. Rolling the graver at an angle from the outside in from the really tight corners. What is so impressive is that you've gotten the...

    A question. Your background removal is outstanding. What methods and procedures are you using to get such a flat clean background?

    Fabulous, Adder! Really outstanding!!! Love the way you've layered the elements to break up the longer portions of the scroll. Also really like the way you've used a subtle narrow backbone for the elements to grow from along the way. All in all, really impressive work!

    Critique Request Testing the waters, templates and such.

    If I'm just developing an idea, I don't necessarily want to pay full ticket (or anything) for a basic layout I can make for myself without too much trouble, but once I'm confident with the Idea I'm working on, I'm also lazy (or smart) enough not to want to spend the hours that it would take to...

    Critique Request Testing the waters, templates and such.

    Would be nice to have both options. Basic layouts - Free, and highly detailed layouts -$$. That way your prospective customers could start developing an idea with the basic templates, and move to higher tiered $$ layouts if/when they want to take the work to the next level.

    Brother where art thou?

    That's good advice, John. If the staff hadn't been running away from me (and everyone else in there) as fast as they could, I'd have done exactly that! Fortunately there were some very good and very detailed posts here on the forum (yours included), so I was able to figure out what type of...

    Brother where art thou?

    Didn't keep track of time, Monk. It took a while. Hoping I can save someone else some of the time I invested in researching all this, and maybe some $$$ as well. Really hate to think about all the time I spent with my old Brother printer before I wised up, and just bought something that...

    Brother where art thou?

    A couple of years ago (nearly) I came back to my workshop with a GRS basic engraving course under my belt. Upon returning home, I was determined to put my new skills to work. There was hitch though... I found out that my Brother printer/copier/ fax pretty much refused to deliver transfers the...
