hi! im totally new to here and engraving. i have been making stuff out of silver for a little while now, and i wanted to at least have some gravers to be able to learn pave settings and try my hand at engraving, but i can't even figure out how to assemble the gravers. do i need to heat the graver before attempting to shorten it? i tried heating up the graver to burn it into the handle as i was instructed in one book but that didn't come out tight at all so i just drilled a guide hole and jammed it in, but i can't seem to break off the extra length. is moremore force the answer or am i missing some secret steps?
thanks for looking!
