I think this dial was brass.. and the graver was a 116 M42 I think.. for brass it does not have to be super hard. But I can also do stainless steel but them I prefer a M48 or Carbalt graver which is a lot more strong so the tip does not break that easy.. :-)
I've tried engraving on a small medium. I used 120°. but in the leaves it always goes out of line that I draw. how many degrees did you use in the video? for small media such as watches and zippo kotek how many degrees do you recommend especially for cutting back bone??
Hi, I use 116 for almost everything.. outline and shading. The same graver.. it’s just practice.. :-) I know some like 120, some 116, some 105.. In this video as well I was using a 116 from a Lindsay sharpening template :-)
Super example of control of cutting tool in any language. Would be great to view the completed dial remounted watch.
Hi and thanks a lot! Appreciate it! :-) If you look at @engraverhand on Instagram you should find pictures of the finished watch :-)
what material are the dials you carved from? What materials can the dial be engraved with? oh ua is that a 116° chisel? Thank you
