    Air line connectors

    Hey folks, I've done my due diligence on Google and I can't seem to find these. Do any of you know where I can find a couple? I want to do a shorter "tail" on my hand pieces so I can transport them easier and I don't want to cut up my existing system.

    Selling your work

    Hey folks, I'm trying to grow my engraving business and I'm having a hard time finding a place online to sell. I have a store on Etsy, but it doesn't seem to be getting any traction. Ebay seems like a junk store nowadays, and social media like FB and IG seem more about briefly showcasing a...

    Critique Request New one from the bench

    Hey folks, here's a new one from the bench. I'm still trying to get my inlay to where I like it. I'm pretty sure I need to dig a little deeper. Went .020" this time, but I'm thinking the magic number is around .030" for the size stone I'm using. This one is turquoise and what's supposed to be...

    Sage, I'm not sure if you've looked at them yet, but Byrd by Spyderco are well made, affordable knives that cut fairly well.

    Gerber Flatiron negative relief

    Hey folks, I wanted to share a knife I knocked out yesterday. Cutting this soft aluminum is pretty tricky, but it's nice to be able to complete an entire project in one day.

    TRANSFERS

    Brother laser copier and basic nail polish remover works for me. Just make sure the part is warm and 3X clean with acetone.

    What is a good printer setup for doing transfers on to metal?

    As a tattooer of many years we always had access to old thermal (Thermofax) printers. Basically they print a stencil made up of gentian violet dye that transfers to skin from a translucent paper. With tattooing you'll prep the skin first with soap or some other medium, apply the stencil, remove...

    Stainless steel blanks

    Lots of great advise already. I'd also add that annealing the steel beforehand seems to help me as well, Heat it to cherry red for a minute or so and then stick it in some (fresh) kitty litter for about 10 minutes or until its cool. This helps to relax the steel and evens out the hard spots

    Shading technique

    I use the Lindsay Bench Jewel. It's a pneumatic powered graver.

    Shading technique

    I like to use a 120° for shading. It takes some finesse, but I like that I can taper from a hair line to a wide finish without having to go too deep.
