After months of combing through over forty books (in four languages) on engraving and assembling photo illustrations, Roger Bleile's International, Illustrated Glossary of Hand-Engraving Terminology is now on line. Over 370 definitions and over 400 illustrations are available to engravers, collectors and writers at http://www.engravingglossary.com/.
Steve Lindsay Engraving and Tools sponsor the glossary site but the definitions include tools and accessories of every manufacture and type. I want to take this opportunity to thank Steve for his sponsorship and assistance with the site and providing some of the illustrations from his work. I also want to thank Steve’s daughter, Kaitlin for loading the definitions and photos into the site.
Though the glossary is a large body of work (22,000+ words) I expect to add a few more definitions in the future. I also plan to add additional illustrations and will be seeking out active engravers to provide pictures of their work for additional examples.
Now before you hop over to the glossary I have started another thread with a 20 question quiz to test your engraver’s vocabulary. The quiz is just for fun so take the quiz then go to the glossary and see how you did.
I hope you enjoy what we put together,
CRB
