    Floor plate

    I recently was asked to do an engraving demonstration at a art festival. I didn't think people would want to just watch me cut so I went with transfer techniques. This is the piece I used to show wax transfer to try and maintain symmetry. This was the first time in a long time I sat down and...

    Selling your work

    Your work is very nice. J.J and monk nailed it. You have to get out there and be a self promoter. Self promoting is the hardest part for me anyway.

    Parallel Point Length

    JK, only you can figure out what works for you. I sharpen on a 600 grit wheel after I grind the face I shut off the wheel and push the heel about 3/4 of an inch on each side. It works for me but may not for you. I think you can get to hung up on exact geometry when consistency is more important...

    custom gravers on the cheap

    I asked my dentist for some old burrs she gave me a pound of them, that's a lot of burrs. She was happy someone could use them.

    Gold inlay question

    John and Sam thank you for your response. My goal is to keep the long graceful taper of the tail feathers. I tried again today using Sam's advice scribe for the teeth and gold wire. Much better results. I did grind a hybrid cutter a 90 degree v point with flat sides total width .010 with it I...

    Gold inlay question

    I am doing the fox and pheasant in raised gold. My question is what is the best way to prepare the tail feather tips for gold. I have been practicing with fine silver. When I get the fine tips ready to hold the silver securely they are a little thicker than I want. Any suggestions?
