Dear all,
This is my first post and i'm new to the engraving scene. I thought I'd introduce myself with a video.
I have wanted to learn to engrave for a while, however, apart from online resources, I do not have easy access to lessons. Eventually, I finally decided to build an engraving machine. - Thanks to Sean Hughes for the inspiration and time he takes to create his videos. Since building the machine, the engraving I have been learning is by trial and error.
Above is a sped up video of some engraving practice. There were 2 graver slips - nothing major. The thermoplastic bulge made that section of engraving difficult - mistake now learned from. The design follows a scroll pattern along one axis. I am using an optivisor type device for magnification, and a small LED light source.
Please feel free to give tips to help me improve.
Kind regards,
Vin
