Great stuff as usual. Thanks for giving us all your special tips and secrets. I reckon you’ll have a hitman from the Engraver’s Guild knocking on your door in the wee small hours!!
Loving this series. Along the lines of your "practice, practice, practice", I've dug out my old fountain pens and begun writing again - scary how we lose what was once almost unconscious. For fun, I'm also working towards ambidexterity - been a lefty all my life. Thanks for sharing!
Knowing my luck I would use the wrong side of the carbon paper. Anywho....! This is what UA-cam was created for. For people to learn me new ideas which are old ideas to the creator of the video. My English good is...…LOL Seriously though. I really appreciate you taking the time to put together this video on the basics of engraving. These videos make a huge difference to someone who just wishes to dabble in the art of engraving for home use. Keep up the good work!
You are amazing Stevohdee! Your free hand work is @¿@ superb even with cats walking across (LOL) your work. Lot of great tips on setting up for engraving but interested in how you decide the heights for the lettering especially with Caps/lower case. Obviously it's a proportion to the piece/No. of lines, but Is there a thumb rule ratio or just ear ball it on the font? Hope you cover some tips on kerning too. This series is a real keeper, Thanks Very Much...just the best! 17 Thumbs up!
Thanks pj, yeah i will be discussing heights, size of burr versus letter size and of course kerning which i learnt in years 9-11 high school, tech drawing class where we learnt sign writing, cheers mate
In a previous life I used a product called developer which is talc and acetone in a spray can; it'd probably work in this application too if you happen to have a line on some. It has a shelf life in its intended application and any of it which is expired should be available for the asking.
Great series, thanks for all the info, Stevo, I've been wanting a micro motor to take over the detail work from the dremel, when I came across a 780W Hanging Flexshaft Mill Motor on that usual shopping site, what would you recommend, a flat knacker, foreskin peeling back, superfast, low powered machine(60-80k rpm), or something with some grunt, that could pull a stump out, but slower(28k rpm)?. Thanks mate, Scott.
Yeah, where do i start? 780w? Hell, it'll rip yr arm off!! Haha .micromotors do 35k revs and there is practically no slop in bearings, smooth as a babies... & flexishaft is so last century, go modern, is good. About $130 aussie bucks
