  • Andrew shows you how to fit a wooden handle to a graver. Then shape the graver for the most efficient use and then grinds the tip and shows you a couple of ways to polish the tip to a mirror finish.
    Andrew is on lockdown for the next few weeks and is producing films based upon what you want to see.
    Please reach out to him by what ever means you can and ask him some questions that he can make films about. It may be something simple or just a thought but please reach out to him so he can make some content for us all to keep us entertained over the next few months.

    Thank You! What a happy & pleasant surprise it was to see you demonstrate that angle gadget! I purchased it from PMC Supplies 2 weeks ago, after ruining a couple of gravers when trying to sharpen . The tool came with no instruction or diagram. I suggested they post a short video as I couldn’t even get the graver to stay tight in the tool. Thanks for such Great detail! I’m going to post link to your video, under the reviews for the tool. I’m a Long time subscriber 👍🏻Thanks Again.

    Thank you Andrew. I find your tutorials invaluable. I am a mostly self taught jeweller living in a very remote village in Spain. You have helped answer so many questions and shown ‘how to’ . So much of my learning so far has been trial and error and these tutorials help speed up my learning process 🙂🙏🏻

  • @Wilett614
    @Wilett614 Рік тому +3

    You can always just "Snap" off that graver to length by using a plier or adjustable wrench
    mounting it in a Vise as you have , but just snap it off instead of striking it with a hammer
    Works for Me , every time , and removes the chance of the broken off piece striking something or someone : )) Just a tip !

    Safety , safety. You should wrap a piece of cloth around the top of the graver before you wack the dispoable part off. Cover it with an old towel and wack. Then you will be safe.

Could u suggest what gravers would be best to get started with if one could only purchase a couple at a time? I'd be very grateful for any suggestions you'd have as I really don't know their names yet an I know there's quite a few

    @adriansorin9291 3 роки тому +1

    Great instructional video as usual. One quick question though: you didn’t put any heel on the graver. Is there a specific reason for it or the slight 2-3 degrees polishing of the sides at the tip is enough to make the graver stop from plunging into the material?

  • @daz4312
    @daz4312 2 роки тому

    Excellent video! Highly informative! Been a jeweler.40 years. Always wanted to learn hand push engraving. Decided to teach myself at this point; it’s such a rapidly disappearing art. Spent part of the Covid isolation online gathering up all the parts and gravers. Hard to find the ones not made to go in the pneumatic machines. Some of the gravers I have collected are simply some kind of tool steel square bar stock about 4-6 inches long. Have collected about a dozen each of the various handles you have shown in your video. But it doesn’t answer a particular question I have. What I’ve got is a handful of new long pear shape wood graver handles with a deep slot running all the way down the handle, and no idea how a graver fits into them, or stays in the handle during use. I haven’t found any pictures or info on how these handles are used. Any ideas?

    • @thegrayjedi5202
      @thegrayjedi5202 5 місяців тому

      I know this is a year ago that you posted this question but I saw on a video a guy using what you described. Apparently those type handles are similar to a screwdriver that accepts those bits that have duel tips. Like a Phillips tip on one end and a flat on the other? So those graver handles you have allow you to put a graver into the handle and the pull it out and switch it around to the other side if so desired. I’m in the process of making my own now. Hope this helps.

      Tweed Rhino Its not practical. You would have to hold it upside down suspended and not against the grinder table. Then you couldnt see how much is being removed and that tip is tiny.
