    Help, please: Coin carving question

    I stipple a lot of my backgrounds, it blends lines and uneven surfaces well, it also is good for holding color if you decide to blacken or color the background

    Ball Vise Questions

    I mostly use a 6" 3 jaw lathe chuck with a lazy susan bearing under it. It has worked great for years and it is plenty stout enough to where you don't get any vibration when using air assist engraver. I placed it on a board that I can adjust the angle on. I got about $75 invested in the whole...

    Motorcycle Piston Carving

    I originally bought a piston from a Detroit Diesel motor and it is very large. I figured I would try it on a smaller piston for my first one. I just finished drawing out the design on the diesel piston. I might get around to carving it in a week or so. I'll post pics when I finish it

    Question: removing background from silver vs steel?

    Sam is right about the silver being "gummy". The Morgan dollars are actually 90% silver as opposed to the silver bullion that will more than likely be 99.9% silver. You will be able to tell the difference once you start engraving them. One good thing about the silver when it comes to the...

    Knife steels engraveable?

    95% of the knives I make are made of 1095 steel. I generally don't have any problems engraving them. I engrave them in the annealed state and I mostly use carbide gravers. I do remember one knife I forgot to do shading lines on part of one side, I didn't notice until after it was hardened and...

    Experience level and engraving classes.

    If I decide to take an engraving class, how do I determine what level of class would I register for? I understand that no matter what class I take I would definitely learn something. I just wouldn't want to be out of my "league" and have to struggle all the way through the class if I took an...
