    Ready to try some metal?

    Definitely cut and get some practice in. Your drawing is better than mine when I first started. Some of that will connect itself with time, but eventually get good at drawing on metal. Keep going =)

    Stainless steel blanks

    If someone said no heel for stainless I’m not sure I would take their advice. Add a heel, double check that you aren’t messing the temper by grinding a graver out to hot, and practice small circles with different heel lengths.

    Question: How to engrave like Castro Smith?

    Looks like the website is under maintenance, apologies. I saw on his Instagram a set of classes, but what I have gathered is for the seal type engraving he uses an onglette mostly and goes from there.

    Critique Request Design critique please!

    Something to consider would be an invisible border or some type of structure (something metering the time on the watch).
