    Question: How can I keep my new work space more quiet.

    This might sounds stupid, but the rawhide mallet wouldn't affect my engraving would it? Thanks for the info.

    Question: How can I keep my new work space more quiet.

    hmm carpets, I will look into that, but the neighbour situation isn't so much that I don't know them, but if I had a neighbour I knew that had banging I could hear most of the day I would be a bit pissed off as well lol, that is the only reason I am trying to keep it as low as possible out of...

I have planned to get a very heavy workbench...

    Is all them patterns from anodizing? If so I never knew you could do that with anodizing. Can you do that with stainless steel and other metals or is it just specific to titanium? I appreciate any info.

    Question: Any schools/courses for improving my hammer and chisel engraving?

    I appreciate the advice, I will just focus on getting some more tools and pushing out more hours on the engraving, but I do like the idea of focusing on a bigger project and working on that instead of just practicing engraving in general.

    Question: background removal vs placing cut peices of metal?

    This is exactly what I mean why would you do this as opposed to engraving that shape and then background removal for the 3d effect instead of this way?

    Question: background removal vs placing cut peices of metal?

    Can anyone tell me the reason that some people cut engraved pieces out and place in the engraving instead of carving/background removal ?

    Question: removing background from silver vs steel?

    I am going to start engraving morgan dollar coins and silver bullion, but before I get to that I have only engraved with steel practice plates and want to know if you do anything different with background removal of the two as I know silver is a lot softer than steel, but I am only asking in...

    Question: dots for transfering images?

    I don't mean weird in a bad way because I am still new to engraving and it just seems what I called weird how a great engraver would use that method of image transfer and I had never seen that before this.

    Question: dots for transfering images?

    he has pictures of the whole process, but I just find it weird using dots for outlines of an image because you must have to spend a long time doing that to get the dots lined up perfect. The photo isn't misleading, he has the whole process posted from start to finish and all he does is dots.

    Question: dots for transfering images?

    How did you leave dots without leaving marks? Did you just do a bulino style of very small dots with the design on the metal?

    Question: dots for transfering images?

    I am wondering if any of you know why someone would use dots for transfer of an image instead of the normal laser printer or printer transfer method? The only reason I ask is I stumbled upon a master engraver on instagram that uses dots/bulino style to transfer the image of his design and he is...

    Question: How to shape objects when engraving?

    I know that with engraving you can shade and remove background to create a 3d visual, but I also see a lot of engraved items with objects within the picture has curves and has been shaped. Does anyone know if you need a specific tool or is it just taking the background graver and just working it...
