Great tips video for the beginner. Probably a few good tips in there for someone who's a little more experienced (although I wouldn't know) The video was, for me, hugely overshadowed by the smooth dobro playing of who can only be Jerry Douglas. I've never heard the piece before but I'd go my house against yours that it is indeed Douglas on dobro and in the CD/LP credits.
Interesting stuff,I see a Elliott SL lathe 😀 too
lol love the ball vise and whiteboard
Any chance you take on commissions?
Sorry but my waiting list is over two years and I’m not taking on new work.
Thank you for showing us this technique.
❤incroyable🤩👍 Merci pour le partage
People acting like power engraving is lesser than hand-push makes about as much sense as saying Fred Flintstone was a better driver than Dale Earnhardt because Dale's cars had motors.
I'm just starting and these videos are so intimidating! Great work
Do you use the same gravers on guns that you use on the practice plates?
Magnifico, gracias!!!
I dont engrave, i may never do it i just model 3d and wanted some ideas on scroll engraving for my work. But who the f can say this is not hand made? Are they blind?
Man it resembles the m1857 wolfsbane from resient evil village
Where to my engraver machine ?
Thank you for showing your years of experience for those who want to learn the trade.
Please come back and make videos again ! These are very helpful for a beginner like myself
I so want to do this.
She not sleep wait
HAVE YOU TRIED DOING ANY CUTTING ON VARIOUS BRONZE ALLOYS?! WHICH ALLOYS SEEM TO BE REALLY GOOD FOR PRACTICING ON?!...
4 YEARS AGO 😢???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will you do a video on gold enly in the micro small numbers and letters? Thanks!
Nice to meet you, I am Japanese and I have started studying engraving. My question is, where can I buy such a draft of an artwork? I have tried searching on Amazon, but I can't seem to find anything, so I would appreciate it if you could tell me.
I ran into a problem with a new graver that splintered up the spine when I was doing a 4 pt star setting...this video helped me enormously so I could repair my graver by hand with a diamond plate. Thank you!
Om man I wanna work with those machines I've been drawing those designs for years. Do wood carvings, but the only metal engravers I've used are basically harbor freight. Nothing like that. I wanna learn this so badly
😍👍🇺🇸🥇💎🇺🇸🥇🤩
A craftsman with his tools and deep knowledge.
I am the beginner you are talking about. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Very clear and concise. Thank you.
❤
I love watching your videos. You make difficult work look so easy. You are amazing. Thanks for your inspiration.
Which type of engraving tool does he use
Here's a question for all engravers: What happens if you make a mistake? Let's say that you're carving a curve, and you slip and make a straight line? To me, that seems like it would be an unrecoverable mistake.
Запаять лазером и прорезать потом правильно линию)
watching the videos on this gun probably 10 times now learn something new every time
Love the background porno music!
Thank You for Your time. Outstanding.
Love your videos. Thank you so much.!!!!
Love your videos! Beautiful! Thanks
Simply one word for such complex artwork, amazing. This art will never be duplicated with a machine.
Thanks to You!!!!!!!! Muchas Gracias!!!!!!!
Again great workmanship! The attention to detail in the lines shading you drew to illustrate is simple and common sense, make the art look life like, yes? Also noticed when you place the bit you hand press to get a bite before actually engraving, Again attention to detail. I love this, much more satisfying than leather work. Semper Fi
Thank you, I started engraving leather, and being a United States Marine, well new tools and a whole new world of engraving. FEGA I will be seeing you in the future. Semper Fi
Really inspiring demonstration. Inheritance-Engraver. 👍✨️

They were burned onto the gun
Can you give me the best source to buy the gold wire and the specs of the wire you use? Thank You! Dave
Do you always use your microscope or do you sometimes use a optivisor.? I have a Leika 60, but just can,t get used to it, I use a optivisor one hundred percent of the time. Any suggestions you can give me?
I recently showed this vid to my brother Enda, who's a master engraver, but who has never used any machines in his life, apart from his hands, and can no longer continue due to very bad arthritis in his hands. He's now 78 years old. He was fire and flame for your pneumatic engraver and wished that he'd been able to use it when he was engraving by hand for all those years. He's absolutely convinced that it would've made his life far more easy. In 1991, I asked him to engrave a gold locket for our older sister Lioghan (it's an Irish name) with her name for her 45th birthday, which I then proudly presented to her. In 2000, I asked him to engrave the back of the locket with the dates of her birth and her death from breast cancer - which occurred in the year 2000. I still wear that hand-engraved locket, by my dear brother, around my neck to this day. MsG
