Hi all,
I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to engraving. I have used gravers for minor cleanup work on bezel set stones and think I have a good understanding of sharpening gravers from books I've read and Sam's videos I've seen.
I have picked up Sam Alfano's engraving dvds also and they are amazing. I know there must be countless of similar threads already but I was wondering if any of you can recommend a structured dvd course for a beginner? I would prefer if there was something more like a course in school to build up my skills which progressed from the basics to more advanced skills. (eg: start cutting straight lines, then circles, then something more difficult etc) I tend to be overwhelmed, all over the place and don't get much done without some structure.
thanks,
Allen
