    Question: Cheaper power hones available?

    You may find this hard to believe, but engravers have been sharpening their gravers without the luxury of today's modern electric spinning wheel hones for a few centuries by simply using stones. Hey, it works! Today we have Steve Lindsey's sharpening systems at a very reasonable price and they...

    Dot punch backgrounds opinions

    You did a great job with the punch dots. But I have to ask, how old is that graver in the background. It looks like one of J.J.'s first tools. ;~)

    Announcement: RIP Winston Churchill

    I saw and met him at a NRA convention I believe back in 1982 in Philadelphia. He gave a slide presentation of his work. It was he who encouraged me to pursue engraving. A great treasure to the world of engraving has been lost, though his fabulous works will live on.

    Help, please: Newbie engraver, onglette heel help

    I learned to hand sharpen onglette gravers from a Philly Jeweler's Row hand engraver. On the Row they were known as"Fish Belly" gravers. They are probably the easiest of all gravers to sharpen, thou it does take a bit of practice. The advantage of these gravers is that you can make them as thin...

    Cobra style engraver

    Looks like a good idea, but the music put me to sleep half way thru the video. I don't see how this has any great advantage over a properly sharpened square graver.

    You Want Chips With That?

    Why not purchase one of those plastic office mats that are placed benith the seat and somewhat under the desk. It could easily be cut and modified to fit under your seat and bench. Then all you'd need to do is simply sweep up any chips.

    Mistaken Sharpening Method:

    These are brass whistles. I have cut the nickel plated whistles but they tend to chip.

    Mistaken Sharpening Method:

    Monk, yes I still do an occasional money clip. These days I am doing Acme whistles for bird hunters. I wasn't able to get on this site due to my change of e-mail address, so I had to reapply. That worked. All I need is....more practice!!!

    Mistaken Sharpening Method:

    The tip of a 96 degree Carbolt graver chipped off and I inadvertently put it in the 116 Lindsey sharpening device. I sharpened the face at 50 degrees and proceeded to sharpen the relief only to find that it sharpened as it would have had I used the tried and true old method of sharpening by...

    Glock 43X

    I have seen Glock slides hand engraved, but they were not factory slides. After market slides are available and I would suggest you consult with your customer and have him purchase one of the after market slides for you to engrave.
