Hi sir, I have a few questions about your microscope if dont mind, first of all how is the single screw holding the ringlight doing? It doesnt seem to sturdy imo
Random question about something I've noticed: when you were engraving the gun, it wasn't centered in your vise, but the point of rotation always seemed to be dead center to the scope. How do you do that? I have a hell of a time keeping things I'm engraving in my field of view. I love your videos, and can't wait to see more!!
The vise itself isn’t turning. It sits on a turn table do I can slide the vise anywhere I need to center it and the turntable spins with the scope centered over it.
Adam Pierce to do this is hit and miss with wax. You need to lift the image with tape, apply another piece of tape to the first one to lift some of the wax off that piece. It will then be a mirror image. I rarely do this because it’s difficult to get much of an image to show up. Much better to use computer software to mirror your artwork and use printer transfer technique. That being said I hand draw 99% of what I do. Being able to draw it by hand is an essential skill.
@@MasterEngraverTV Thank you for the response. I tried several methods after I posted the question and actually successfully did exactly what you suggested. It worked but required two people as the tape is difficult to pull apart without damaging the image created by the wax. The photograph and laser printout was my final choice but I didn't need to do it. Using hand drawn, as you well know, is difficult to reproduce an exact copy of an image that has been free handed on one side of an object.
I am a hobby engraver, I have been using a head set. I am soon to be 79 years old. I have soll some of my work. I won't to move up to a microscope. I do fire arms and money clips. Can recommend a microscope?
Please come back and make videos again ! These are very helpful for a beginner like myself
Love your videos. Please keep going with them. There are people like me that need all the help we can get.
I love your channel. Seriously. In today's world people don't try to learn anything anymore.
Nice to see you back making videos.
Great video! Glad to see your back.
Keep the videos coming!
As an airbrush you're transferring designs from one surface to another is very important and this was very helpful thank you
So great to see you back to making videos. Hope you found some tips and tricks to make the time consuming parts of video making easier.
Glad to see your back!
Thanks so much for showing all these tips, they're extremely useful. I've seen others use plasticine to transfer patters in a pinch
I have a sickness n the only cure is more videos thanx
Thank you :) That's a helpful video, and this set of castings is a great idea too.
Steeve Martial castings are one of the handiest engraving reference tools a beginner can have. I have a large collection in my own shop.

A quicker way is to just use a smoke print. Have you given that a try at all?
Never used smoke prints as a transfer method but I've made plenty of them. It's one of the dozens of methods I know of.

Ok cool give them a try they are a lot quicker and give a better contrast on the metal for scribing the designs onto a fresh plate
How do I transfer an image on one side of the knife to the other side using wax transfer?
