Hand Engraving Videos- • Hand Engraving Basics ...
This video shows the basic steps taken in hammer and chisel engraving. I've been learning over the past years and this is a way to show my progress and just what hammer and chisel engraving is. I start with taking a pull from an engraved firearm and transfer the design to a practice plate. The cuts are made by striking a small homemade handle with a carbide chisel. Once the main cuts are made I add shade lines and the background is punched. I have posted several videos on the topic so far and will be posting more in the future.

Your tempo, body movements--pure art my friend.
Just wanted to say thanks man, Ive loved the idea of engraving and jsut the whole process is so beautiful, and I made some chisels following your video, and made a hammer following another, and Im really happy with how they came out, thank you for sharing your and your fathers knowledge and skills
Dude! You are a total badass with that chisel! You sir, have a great diversity of talent. Keep up the amazing work!
@The Homestead Craftsman truly wonderful clearly alot of time and skill involved well done really cool project
i love watching the engraving videos
Nice work. It feels like all my subs are taking everything up a notch this year, glad your one of them.
Yeah, I'm on about a 3 or 4 month break from my normal work to spend more time working on personal projects, making videos and focusing on the houses.
That was the most incredible work, excellent detail. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, but if you want to see some nice engraving do some googling, it will blow your mind.
Watching you and following your channel it just hit me how perfect the name of your channel is for what you do. I am happy for you and your success.Take care. Dave
Thank you, that's what I was going for when I came up with it. Hoping to ad more topics in the future for basically a channel that could be on just about any topic regarding making and doing things yourself. More fun for me and more variety for the viewer.
You are certainly a man of many talents. My hat is off to you. Nice video.
I do enjoy a range of activities. I find it more fun and gives you the opportunity to mix crafts into one project. Thank you for watching.
you do beautiful work my friend that turned out awesome.
People wonder why engraved guns were so expensive back in the day. Little do they know many people had to engrave with perhaps even more “crude” equipment than you even have in this video. It’s really incredible.
I have seen you making the chisel bud this is so nice to see it action. I would like to try this to. Did some carving in wood but this is so nice..keep it up
That is really neat. Thanks for sharing!
I really wish you made more tutorials on engraving. You’re incredible at it!
Thank you, I'd like to do that.
Absolutely beautiful mate. Would love to see more videos like this.
Thanks, I'll be posting more.
Very well done. I think it looks beautiful. Your getting a lot better. I guess what they say is true, you get better with practice.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks
Wow! Amazing. You are so talented.
Thanks
This was a really wonderful watch. Really almost kinda zen and relaxing. Amazing work there. Always wanted to try my hand at engraving but haven't quite gotten around to it.
Well thank you, it's a bit much to get around to to be honest. The vice is a big barrier, it's $700. The other tools are not that bad as I made mine and just buy the carbide blanks and shape them into chisels.
The Homestead Craftsman thanks for the heads up! Knowing that, I'll probably use my pitch bowl for practice and then step up to a vise only if I really get into it. More messy and less convenient, but cheap and already paid for haha.
A lot of engraving is done in pitch bowls, it'll work just fine. Also, take a look at "bowling ball engraving vise" it's a little makeshift but a cheap alternative.
Excellent
Nicely done.
Beautiful. Great work.
Thanks
Beautiful! Like the music choice too!
Thank you
Absolutely incredible.
Thank you
Nicely done sir!
Thanks
Man, I learned a lot in 4 min. Not that I could do it half as good as that, but now I KNOW the process. :P Great video.
Getting started hammer and chisel engraving makes you look like you have zero skill.....takes days or a week just to be able to consistently hit your chisel.....then weeks of not being able to control the depth of cut to any degree and then months to get basic control a so on. But it's like riding a bike, what skill you gain sticks with you pretty good, even if you take a break from it. For me it's been an off and on thing, but now I'm spending time and focusing on it to open up a new source of income as well as more options with projects.
I wish I had 1 10th the talent you have, your amazing. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, everything I'm doing I had to learn. What I did in this videos is nothing compared to an experienced and skilled engraver. I'm basically just getting the hang of the basics, granted I've come a ways since I started scratching up metal but I've got a ways to go. Thank you for watching.
It seems critical that the vise has the ability to swivel. Great skills here !
Nice work, bud - great camera work on those close focused shots.
Thanks
Nice work and video. Looking forward to more engraving tutorials. Subscribed.
Thanks
so fascinating!
VERY NICE WORK.
Thanks
Is there any chance you'd show a closeup of the tip of the graver and how you sharpen it? That is really cool, I'd like to try it one day, thanks.
That was really cool!
Thank you
Very neat job! Thanks for sharing
Thanks
Thanks for sharing
Enjoyed this very much thank you.
Thank you
very cool, you have a diverse set of skills
Thank you for watching.
Douglas, that is exactly what I was thinking. I've been a custom builder for 20 plus years now and this young man is very impressive and very rare in the industry. Willing to share his skills and being so darn humble just got him a new subscriber......Wish there were more young men like him!
Te felicito. Salidos de argentina. Las puntas son de carburo de tungsteno? Y la placa de acero inoxidable?
Fantastic work! You're really honing your skills! I would love to try this sometime, I'll have to rewatch the other videos you have on metal engraving.
Thanks. It's kind of a daunting thing to "try" as it makes you look like a fool for quite a while before you can even gain the slightest control. It's like trying to ride a unicycle when you can't even ride a bike........and that's just to be able to cut a 1/2 inch line or simple curve that looks bad! But once you get the basic feel, you slowly start improving then get to a point where you improve much quicker. With that said, it may be something your interested in doing as a hobby long term. Do some googling on the topic for more. I also did an article on my site, here's the link www.thehomesteadcraftsman.com/2017/02/hammer-and-chisel-engraving-traditional.html
The Homestead Craftsman , I've never been one to shy away from a new challenge. I suppose the best place to start is to do my research, thanks for the link!
I can't imagine the level of patience require for that project. I do quite a bit of leather work and the patience required for tooling leather is just barely within my grasp, engraving is a whole other level or commitment to the project. Nice work
Thank you, this design wasn't that bad, it's nothing compared to the highest level of engraving which can take engravers months to complete certain projects.
Where might one get the basic tools? Beautiful work!
Wow!
This is hand engraving. 👍👍👍
wow. you make that look easy
Looks can be deceiving, still not easy for me.
Wow..I loved watching..thanks
Thanks
Did you make the punch you used for the shading? Where do I get one?
Can you explain how you transfered the pattern
How can buy your chisel? Like your chisel. I'm in Vietnam! Thank you for sharing!
Well Done Sir
Thanks
WOW!!!
When you engrave guns, do you use carbide gravers or Hss or what? i suppose some guns have hardened parts so how would you engrave those and with what material of graver? Do you ever dub the tip of your graver? Do you Break the tip? So many questions sorry but i really want to learn as much as posssible. Thank you, great video and deserves a thumbs up! Cheers!
Carbide on everything as it holds an edge good. It is brittle so it can chip, you just resharpen. I use a ez lap diamond stone and then ceramic stones to hone, all by hand. You can use jigs as well. Guns vary in hardness due to different metals, some are machined, some are forge cast, stainless, brass parts, etc. All have there different properties. Case hardened parts can be annealed. HSS can be used as well on certain things, it just won't last as long.....but on softer metals, brass, silver, gold, copper, etc it is fine......but again, if you have have the carbide there's no reason not to use it.
For the first 3 min, i thought you were pivoting while sitting on a stool. Your standing pivot is robotic!
What machine are you using ??
Wish I knew how to make a jig on sharpening the graver to proper angles so I can start practicing this.
This one is for smaller gravers but it will give you the idea of what to make www.engravingschool.com/private/Lindsay%20Sharpener.htm All mine are shaped on a grinder then final shaped and honed on diamond and ceramic stones. Do you have all the other equipment?
That was incredible.... Went cross eyed just staring at it... how long did that take?
Thanks, with filming it, about an hour. Less when your just doing it, but it's only two inches long and not very detailed. So while this is relatively quick it is only a small part of what would make up the engraving from the gun, and there's both sides of course, the hammer, trigger and cylinder......so it's time consuming. Thanks for watching.
Hi what is that punch you have as I can only find punches that have the tip on the end for marking and not a hollow one like that that leaves circles, does it have a specific name? thanks.
It is called a bead punch.
Or jewelers bead punch.......back ground bead punch........those would be googleable terms.
Exquisite 🇨🇦
Go Canada
more please.?
My dad does same thing but he uses a sir compressor he can carve metal and gold.
Curious after the scotch tape pencil rub, what was used to actually transfer the design to the metal without smearing? Great vid!
I'm just using a soft wax cut with lighter fluid. I haze up the metal and the black chalk from the tape sticks in the wax, leaving a duplicate image. You can also just draw out the design, but if you are doing the same job over and over you do pulls to save time and keep things consistent.
Forgot to mention, I wrote an short article to go with the video with photos as well. www.thehomesteadcraftsman.com/2017/02/hammer-and-chisel-engraving-traditional.html
Oh, my.
It's simply amazing. I wonder ........ to the goggles you use to magnify what you see come in prescription for older, tireder eyes ? lol
Steph_Louisiana
You can were your glasses under them. If you just wear reading glasses, these alone will work, you just may need more powerful lenses. They are called Optivisors and come in different strengths. I use #7. The person teaching me wears #10........but my eyes are younger. They cost about $30 and come in handy for a lot of work.
Yes , I can see they might be useful for many plenty kinds of close work. Thank you HC for you generous and considerate reply ! Love your video's and video production !
Steph_Louisiana
Wow
That's a good response.
Could you make a video on making a chasing hammer like the one you use?
Well I did make the one I'm using but I did not make a video, but I may in the future. I did it on my metal lathe, the head that is and the handle was roughed out on the band saw, then turned on my wood lathe and then finished up with rasps and files. I've been wanting to make a really nice one and engrave it, so I may end up doing it soon than later.
The Homestead Craftsman you inspired me to try engraving, I weld by trade and love working with my hands and I am making the chisel you made and would like to make a hammer to match I would like to make all my tools.
If your skilled enough to weld and do other things the hammer won't be hard. For reference, mine has about a 1 inch face on it and around 2 inches long. It's stainless. Usually hammers are made from some sort of tool steel so that it can be hardened. It's fine for striking wooden handles but when I use my punch it gets little dings in it, but nothing that bothers me. I also have other hammers that are hardened that I can use for lots of punching. The tricky part is the vice, the real thing is nice but cost around $700.....you can make your own from a bowling ball and drill press vice, look up bowling ball engraving vice. But again, having the right tools is nice and makes a difference.
The Homestead Craftsman I wanted to start with coins and work my way up to knives that I make (well at least I try to) I have thought of using a large piece of scrape round stock(6in diameter) from my work and a pipe for it to sit in and use hot glue to adhere the work piece to the top. Any thoughts?
You need a way to position it as you cut. Also, just practicing on cold rolled mild steal would be the most efficient way to learn. Check out my other video on what to cut first, it will show you how to get started.
Wow!
WOW!!!
Third It!!!
