Good gear this. However the almost non-stop turning the contraption is a total 'turn off' of would be interest by viewers. Fair to day, most ppl viewing this will know how a ball vice works and turning it (like a carousel) does not add any value to the video. Granted, it is educational.
Thank you Mike for your time. Your a gifted teacher as well as a master engaver. We met a number of years at the colt collectors show in Tulsa,OK You we very generious with your time and I still use the tips and techniques you taught me. I am now a full time prof. Engraver. I do have a request for future classes. I still have some trouble inlaying gold and other precious metal. I get the job done but it seems to take too much time and effort. Thiery D. Has some of his techniques on utube But in practical application i dont find his technique to work very well. Thanks Mike
Great video very direct! One question though, what brand and model is your ball vise? I’ve noticed the jaw inserts have way more holes than the one I’ve bought. I own a victor model “the victor”. Thank you!
Very nice work holder. Very similar to the ones I make other than I lock the two halves together onto the rotating support rather than locking the rotating support with a screw. Puts the locking mechanism at the bottom for extra clearance and pulls the clamp together rather than pushing apart to lock, if that makes any sense? Very nice work sir.
Mike, Do you sell the castings? I have a couple of black powder revolver/pistols (45,36/38) and Ruger 22 and mag cylinder . Will the designs fit on cylinders and body/barrel for engraving them?
This is great, but you need to make a video to show how to do this at home with common tools at hand, or that you can make out of common household tools with a little work. Anybody can do anything easily with hundred dollar specialized tools. But the world is sick of needing to have specialized tools for every possible job in the world... nobody is going to have a specialized ring engraver vice in their tool shed, or an electric engraver. Maybe I can fashion a hand engraver myself with a little work, and improvise a common vice to do the job with some jigs to clamp it in place without getting marred
+Prescious Cheeks Well, if you're going to be a jeweler it's best to invest on the proper tools to do the job as efficiently as possible. Jewelry making is not a cheap hobby :/
and no one would keep their jewelers tools in a tool shed...and every engraver has these tools that you say no one has, and this video isnt for people who dont already understand hand engraving. obviously.
This was a very educational tutorial! I would like to know where the DeCamillis inside ring holder and the hand engraving tool (not the electric engraver) can be purchased. suzistudios@gmail.com thank you for making this video!

Stupid spinning. Not a good thing to do for a closeup.
Stop the spinning already!!!👎👎👎
Could you use some sort of white mixture in your chapstick for placing on dark blued or blacked metal? Thanks in advance!
I just fell down...
I agree!!!!
stooopppppp !!!!
Just a little advice; that spinning at the beginning of the video almost made me not watch. Was very nauseating.
What's the purpose of this crap..stop spinning it
Genius, but I got dizzy during the intro.

Please do another one and dont spin. Love your info. Thanks
How did you reverse the image???
Awesome tips! Thank you very much!
Skip spinning 1:26
God damn it, we know the vise spins..
Thumbs Down for the stupid spinning. ,👎
Great video very direct! One question though, what brand and model is your ball vise? I’ve noticed the jaw inserts have way more holes than the one I’ve bought. I own a victor model “the victor”. Thank you!
Ruined the video by spinning the damn thing non stop
Thank you for the tip! But question: how do you mirror to the other side, if you only have one side made?
Very nice work holder. Very similar to the ones I make other than I lock the two halves together onto the rotating support rather than locking the rotating support with a screw. Puts the locking mechanism at the bottom for extra clearance and pulls the clamp together rather than pushing apart to lock, if that makes any sense? Very nice work sir.
and the point of that was???
You are real pro... Thank You!

I think this is his Email: mw.dubber@gmail.com address but I am not sure.

Woah, off to throw up. Stop the spinning. I'm sure you have some good stuff to say.

Got dizzy, Couldn't see till the end.

Great stuff you make it look so simple

What kind of Graphite did you use?
How can I take your class?
previous question was premature, I watch your other video and got the answer. Thanks again!
Thanks!! Great info. Can I ask how you transferred the mirror image of the original engraving on the receiver?
you are making me dizzy!
Stop spinning the mount!
I got dizzy and vomited, Thank you very much.
good stuff.....thanks
Great video, but the spinning.... oh the hypnotic nausea!!!
Thanks for the video! A great technique. Your work is beautiful.
