Learn Making a Graver and Template set for Engraving - By AMbros custom

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มี.ค. 2019
- I tried my best to make everything as clear as possible.still if you do not understand then you can personally mail or comment down below I will clear your all doubts as soon as possible.
I will show you how to make a set of gravers with the template. For past 3-4 weeks, I am researching on engraving and I found myself so much attraction to this work that I decided to step into this new kind of work. I saw many companies selling the set of gravers but overall in the end if you are going to use them then you definitely need to sharpen them again because their sharpness not going to last long because if you are a beginner then I think you are definitely going to break a lot of tip during your work and for that you need to sharpen that graver and there is no doubt that you are not getting the exact angle you need to grave the metal surface. so by considering this thing in my mind I decided to make a set of gravers completely out of scratch and decided to share my experience to others so that anyone who is fascinated about doing this new work can easily able to master this technique. This doesn't seem hard to make the graver shape but if you don't have power honing wheel then this will take a lot of elbow grease to make the set. other than that if you like this then make sure to leave your valuable feedback in a comment section. I'm pleased to read your feedback.

Thanks buddy, good luck:)
Just wanted to say thanks again. I watched this like a year ago and saved the video for when i was finally ready. i recently got my machine and all the stuff, and needed a way to sharpen the graver blanks. i used the templates you provided and mostly did it how you did it, and they really work great! these things are expensive to buy, and so cheap to make. thanks again brotha!
Pleasure is mine brother. Thanks for sharing your valuable feedback 🙏.
Keep up the good work..
Very informative..like the way you teach.. I also have foredom but never heard that it can be use for engraving purpose. Your builds are awesome never seen such a variety content channel on TH-cam.you nailed it.
That was fantastic. Great use of the template set too.
Pleasure to hear that 🙏
😁Thank you so much, I have been through a lot of channels and you are the only one that has actually shown us this, others talk about it but thats about it no help at all. You Sir are a Gentleman and a Scholar. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Appreciate your words sir. Glad it was helpful 🙏.
Your hard work is reflecting in this😊 Good going brother keep it up👍🏼
Very nicely done.
Very good ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi Ambros.
Thanks a lot for your great instructional video, for your skills and your kind will to let all of us know what you have spent hours or days to develope. I like so much when people use their heads or whats inside to come forward in life. Thanks a lot. All the best Allan
Thanks brother, really appreciate your generous words:)
Excellent work. We posted this video in our homemade tools forum this week :)
Thanks man👍
This is why i love people so much to learn holy shit i would of never thought. Beautiful work man!!!
Thanks pal, appreciate the words:)
Thank you your template downloads are awesome.
My pleasure buddy:)
you are a Real Handy Man, good work!!!
My pleasure mate:)
Thanks for this video. It's perfect
Your welcome buddy
you are the best !!.....thank you Bro....fantastic !
Your welcome my friend:)
Great video, thank you
Great job man.
Thanks buddy
Wow, just goes to show you don’t need a lot of high-test tools, just some personal skills! Excellent video, thank you I!
Really appreciate your words brother:)
@@ambroscustom Great video I really wanted this from the first. Thank you very much friend. For what size square eyes do you use? And one question if I use a smaller stem material, will it affect the angles, thanks in advance.
@@mbootgae1497 buddy it's 4mm square carbide blank. Thickness doesn't affect the angles. -+5° also doesn't affect the cutting quality.
@@ambroscustom I might want to make a small chisel to play on hobo coins, 3.27mm / 4mm. Does that change the angle of the blade. Thank you for your response
It will not affect. You can go with 3.27 no problem. Everything remain as it is
Superb
Man you should sell those tips. I know I will buy some from you. Thanks for the video friend 🙂
I provided free templates if you are willing to build by your self. Thanks for the suggestion, definitely consider it in near by future:)
Nice.. 🤟✌️
Very ingenious, thank you very much !
Your welcome brother
@@ambroscustom Can you make a video on how to use the template with one of the templates because there are still many who do not understand using it properly thank you
You can watch Steve Lindsey videos of how to use these templates, pretty easy process.
@@ambroscustom Hello, my friend has taken pdf and thank you, I just do not understand in the little hole in each template, what is the use of it? And if I cut the template, does it have to fit the small hole according to the template too
That was for the graver holder alignment, so that when everytime you need to sharpen the graver, the holder sits at the same location onto the template for the better and much accurate sharpening.
Awesome brother
Thanks brother. You can tell me your question or email me or contact via FB.
Very nice
great!
Ganz hervorragende Arbeit. Wirklich klasse.
Vielen Dank.

schätze deine Worte Bruder
to be honest, i am impressed! what people in "poor" countries can do with minimal tools and some craftsmanship is really funny to watch. great job an thank you for the grinding templates. you need to keep your drillbits a bit sharper, it makes live much easier ;-)
Thanks mate.
Спасибо! Очень полезная информация.
Спасибо, приятель
This is the best tutorial regarding graver sharpening/making on TH-cam!
I have one question though - the small templates for angles - are they universal, or how do You tell the dimensions regarding the lengths of G(raver) X (to the “center” point) and Y (above “center” point for heels)
Is it same and You just make the e.g. 120 degrees angle from the top Y-point?
Thank You and keep your good work
Thanks for the appreciation brother. As far as smaller template are considered they mainly used to thin down the tip. There is no problem in using directly bigger template on 4 mm graver but the problem occurs on sharp corners. The tip tends to break and doesn't give you clean cut. To decrease the size those are used. If stock material is around 2mm then you definitely have no need to use the smaller template. As far as dimensions is considered for the smaller template the overall motive is to give taper to the 4mm square graver in such a way that tip became 2mm square and from 1" to the tip it remains 4mm. That doesn't play important role. If your stock is 2 mm those templates have no use. I don't think that they are universal. If you increases the length of graver and the holding length you definitely need to change the size. After making the graver and reanalyzed them I would say that angle between 2-4 ° works for smaller template.
BIG FAN SIR 😇
Thankyou dear:)
Благодарю от всей души.
Awesome .....
But I'm waiting for the video of your diy CNC
Take little more patience. Doing some upgrades in my drill press because it didn't drill straight and in CNC straightness matters alot. After that the work starts for the gantry.
@@ambroscustom OK bro
Take you own time, I can wait with lot of patience , thank you for reply
👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. Are these templates for hand pushing or air driven?
I think i doesn't matter if you have that shape. You need to read instructables blog for how to use.
Hello, very good video, can you have some sizes for the small templates. Thanks
I may have missed it. What type of machine, GraverMeister?
Great work! I can't open the DWG file because I have a 2012 Acad version. Hope you could save one in a lower version, I would very much appreciate. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry for the late reply buddy, just bussy in my next project, now I change the file and uploaded it onto same location. Download and tell me weather it works or not. Good luck :)
@@ambroscustom Thank you so much for making time to convert the file.
How far does the template have to be from the stone like same height as stone or?
Thanks for the templates dude, this is Soo helpful 👊🏻 I Advice you to make a solenoid graver, or make the Shaun Hughes homemade engraving machine, much much easier then the foredom handpiece 😉
Thanks man, yeah just recently build a pneumatic airgraver and work absolutely fantastic.
@@ambroscustom Can i get a copy of your printable templates.
Buddy check the description section, they are already there.
Hi Ambrose
Beautiful instruction, where can I find the template designs online?
Files are provided in the description brother. And to use them follow the instructable website blog page.
can u make a video specifically on the the graver holder and in a bit easier way cause we dont have heavy machinery as you have
Ambros I downloaded your templates but the center hole on my printer measured about 5.6 mm so I used photoshop and enlarged the templates until the center hole came out to 8mm. I don't know how accurate your template has to be for sure. The tube you used to measure the length of the graver when you set it in the fixture is that 1.25". Really didn't understand how you figured that out? Can you explain this a bit?
Dear in the description section you will find an instructables link, which gives you brief information about the template and how I made and how to use. Print has to be made at 100% to get the accurate template. Or you can go with cad model
Hello, Ambros looks like you did a lot of work making the templates. Each template has a smaller template so the larger template would be for the face angle and the heel? Is that how I'm seeing this? The smaller templates would be to reduce the overall metal? Thanks, Mike E
Yes Mike you are absolutely correct.
What size are your round and square engraving carbide and hss blanks and where can I get them?
Round are 3mm while square are 4 mm
Hi thank you so much for the video. Please can you tell us the height of the diamond stone you are using? Also do these templates create a parallel heel? I have made the 90 degree template but have not been able to achieve a parallel heel. Any help would be amazing!
Hi Heather appreciate your words. For the diamond plate it's 8mm thick. If you want much detail over this topic you can check the pdf instructables file in the description. If your stone height is little thick you can place a shim underneath that and perform the heal making process. The bigger template is used for making heal of the graver. The angular section onto the bigger template. If your grinding stone height is not upto my calculations then there might be some problems in attaining that heal. Recommend you to take a look over the written pdf. If still have problems let me know. Thanks
AMbros Custom thank you for getting back to me!! I am still having some trouble achieving a parallel heel but I think it’s because my gravers are slightly out of alignment on each template. I will keep playing around! Thank you!
You do realise these designs are already Patented!
Yes dear I know but I didn't made them by examine that. There is a principle of everything and I just use that. This is not orignal design the dimensions are different then the original one. I watched Shaun hugh video in which he explained briefly. So it's completely depend upon the person that weather he think that's it's stolen or not.
Please could you let me know where did you obtain the template profiles, I would like to make some myself.
Check description section for file link cad and PDF
What is the height of the sharpening stone ?
Muchas gracias por las Plantillas.
de nada
Hi Ambros!! I come from watching several videos bout engraving, I hope YOU can answer mydoubt. What matetial should I use to make them? I mean, the graver?
At what distance do you know to place the graver from the template?
As i experienced that if you are newbie like me then I suggest you to go with hss instead of carbide. Downside is that you need to hone the tip after few intervals that consumes time but not too much infact nothing if you break the carbide bit and need to rebuild the tip. That grinding time took around 10 - 15 minutes depends upon the chipping onto your carbide graver. HSS graver are much forgiving, once to master the technique then shift to carbide blanks. Few shapes you can made with carbide are oval shape, flat graver, round graver these are much forgiving compared to other having sharp tip vary from 70-135°. My advice is to go with HSS and then with carbide. For the holding method you can visit my instructables blog post link in the description for detailed information.thanks :)
@@ambroscustom Where can I get HSS sticks? Thanks.
Try AliExpress awesome and affordable price. Good luck
Where to buy high speed steel blank
Hi man. Thanks for sharing the templates and the way of making them. I gotta question about the small templates. how did you draw them ? I mean does they have heel and face angles???
Yes they have a specific angle given to them and for the heal work you need to use the bigger template not the smaller one. The smaller one are for the initial shape like the Pentagon shape of graver. Smaller template provide you the perticular angle of the graver like 120°, 90°, 150° etc.
@@ambroscustom I understand the small templates are for shaping. See I pick 45degree angle for face in big templates. When we using the small templates they also have angle between the graver and the bench stone, what's the angle? 4degree? I'm sure they're not flat.
Yes its 4 degree, but also depend upon the grinding stone you are using. I am using diamond stone of 8mm, in the the end this is going to reduce the tip size.
@@ambroscustom I'm gonna use diamond lap and gonna use 12.7mm(half inch) for height. Should I increase the angle ??
@@mahmoudjam670 you can use some sort of spacing under the template so that the height difference remain 8mm. Although that initial angle doesn't matter that much. The tip angle matters only which is 90°, 120°, 150° etc.
are all the edges flat along the 5mm acrylic? I downloaded a 3d printed template and noticed the edges around the templates have angles in regard to the face and heels and other cuts. Im noticing in your video you dont talk about setting an angle on the short 5mm edge of the acrylic template. all you did was cut and filed flat? I'm confused on how the angle gets created if you cut all the edges flat. do all edges sit flat on a even surface? or some angled?
In the description section there is an instructable website link. Follow that guide. That will answer your question.
Ambros, what would you say is the total length from the surface of the acrylic template to the business tip of the graver? If people are making their own graver holder, this distance would be constant.
You answer the question in your wonderful video: about 50mm. Thank you.
You got it right
Hello, do you have a PDF of the templates so I can print them out? There’s no link connected to the PDF document
Sorry for the late reply but I checked it twice and it's working fine. Click on cad link, pdf files are provided over there.
Dear ambros,
I recently made graver templates with your designs. Thanks for it. What are the dimensions of the templates that you made. For an example what are the dimensions for 120 graver template . I want to know it because i think my printout is not to the scale. Please help me. Thank you !
I didn't remember at the time but while printing make sure to keep it at 100%. Then you are good to go.
Hey man. Any chance for AutoCAD file for garvers?
That's how many seeds of chisel and for the template, please make it clear so that everyone can copy and paste it in the media like you do. Thank you
this is a great tutorial but 2 questions 1 can i use tool or spring steel as a graver 2 what are the bigger template for. i only seen you use the small nes
Buddy I heard from many master engraver to use HSS or carbide, no one recomend using a carbon steel. HSS is also cheap and you can get a precise dimension blank at any tools supplier shop. The bigger templetes are used for facing and heel work which do the cutting work. They are important part also. Thanks.
@@ambroscustom thanks so much man you really helped me out
Spring steel is great for a graver. You just need to properly harden and temper your tools. I have used coils from a bed spring.
@@gwaaiedenshaw8310 great! Thank you
Can you say where you have gotten your square carbide?
You can find them on AliExpress. Preffer 3mm or 2.5.
I wish I knew what to buy,. Theres seems so many, how does a beginner know which ones to get if I can only afford to buy a couple at a time? 🤔 Any tips for me I would be very grateful. Thank u for sharing
Dear you definitely need some tools if you want to pursue Jewellery. Even in the jewelry there are so many sections. Like engraving stone setting, casting and many more. Jewelry saw, file set, diamond sharpening plate, vise, rotary tools and burrs suggesting foredom for that and it comes up with alot of attachment. I hope this much is sufficient to start a jewellery work. Even these things going to cost you around 120-130$ depend upon where you live. But you definitely need more and more tools as you increase your skill. Frankly told every tool has its own advantage. You can do multiple task with a single tool but the thing is that you might not get the good results. So I would say less tools definitely have some barrier in making. Brother there are many masters from where you can see what things are necessary, I told you what I uses when I started. Foredom is must to buy, really the best and versatile tool and comes with different attachment. In first no need to buy expensive tools because I think that in the learning stage you don't even need the professional quality tools although they definitely have advantage but cheap tools can also do the same job. Only thing you need is determination and practice and remain positive. Hope this will help but definitely consider watching other jewellers as I am not very good in this field. Good luck, stay healthy:)
@@ambroscustom I have all my jewlery tools. Just no gravers yet. Well none since I made that comment, I actually have a few gravers now I got I last few days so iv been practicing. But thank u for the indept comment and tips, I appreciate it ✌
@@ambroscustom good advice,.. I started a few years ago Makin jewelry so I have built up my collection of tools.. Sand casting is something I dont have, but I have done cuttle fish casting,. And yes, I like to use old tools an not always the most expensive. An I have lots of determination to get better an better! 😉 Your comment was very helpful, I think I subscribed so I will hopeesee more of your work.. Thank you kindly from Ireland ✌
Xin hỏi bộ bản vẽ đó tải ở đâu vậy ạ
Can you post the height of the templates? I'd like to use with my lindsay graver holder but these templates seem small when i printed them. thanks for posting.
Thanks, The height is closer to 83mm.
@@ambroscustom Thanks. I would have been off with my template cuts. I have a lindsay 116 template that is closer to 100mm. I was using a semicircle and digital angle finder to make some custom templates and came across your video. It will help me confirm if my measurements are correct. Thank you.
Pleasure is mine 🙂
Great tutorial can you please tell me where to get the paper templates from thanks in advance
Thanks, there is link to Google drive. You can download from there
I have downloaded the templates and thank you so much for your help
hi.great job how to print the templates please inform me thanks
Thanks brother, Just print them on A4 size paper. But along with that you need to take care of spacer. On instructables website you can search same thing and you can have access to all the info you need for the precise angle. I highly recommend you to visit there.
could you maybe make stl file of these ? i would love to make em , but there is no measurement on how far the holes are ?
In the description there is a cad file I hope you can make stl from that, if not let me know after getting free from my work I tried to upload STL file also.
Bạn in mẫu lên giấy a4 hay giấy a3 vậy mình in lên giấy a4 mà sao thấy mẫu nhỏ vậy
Do you sell these, graver, holder and templates ?
I can if anyone needed but it's going to take few days of time because they are not ready made stuff. I need to start from scratch. If you need a set send me pm to my email:- ambroscustom@gmail.com
Can you tell me the file you printed on A4 or A3 paper, but I printed it on A4 paper, I feel the sample is very small. compared to Lisay's model, it's very big
Yes the templates are small, and are A4 size, you need to see the details over instructables that how much you need to stick out to make the right degrees of angle. Size never plays any role, the thing matter is that the length of stick out.
😙😘😚🙋🙋🙋👍👍👍👍
you are life safer i been looking for templates this one of the best video i watched that helped me! thank you 🙏
My pleasure brother 🙏 appreciate your words.
These appear to be an exact copy of Steve Lindsey's template set . are they ?
No
@@ambroscustom okay. Thanks.just wondering.
I uses the basic Pythagoras principle only and if you buy Steve Lindsey template I bet they are different than this, but overall you achieve the angle you wanted to and you can make many more by yourself just by changing the face tip angle.
Hello
Tell me the size of each in centimeters
Hi
Sorry for silly question
Thanks for temolates and mentioned angles.
Can you please mention the center of hole from botom of template surface.
Second , kindly can you updat hights of templates from botom to max hight. :(
Sorry for being silly
No the height is not possible to change,if you do so then the angles will change alot more. This design is made according to a specific length and increasing the height means redesign them again, but I can provide the centre mark as soon as I get time.
@@ambroscustom can u tell me whats the lenth and width of each template.. and where to plave hole
hello sir, can i order it? i need a tool to engrave, how much does it cost? is there a contact I can call?
Dear this is a diy project currently not in a production. If you want to make your own than the templates are in the description section.
Where do you get the template dimensions?
By Pythagoras theorem and trigonometry.
very helpful video , but i wanted to know if u are from india and if u are from india then where did you find the carbide garvers ??
In Punjab Ludhiana, there are many suppliers of these materials
It would be really helpful if had any contact details of them

Buenos días Sr mi nombre es Douglas Ramírez desde Costa Rica gracias por compartir los archivos con mi persona me gustaría preguntarte que medida tiene los buriles que utilizas de que material son
el material es un carburo de tungsteno y no sabía qué significa buriles, sería fácil responder si pregunta en inglés.
@@ambroscustom Thanks for your answer
the word "buril" I refer to the tool used for engraving.
What dimension does the HSS or tunsgteno pieces have, which you use to make the engraving tools.
too appreciative of your response
I would also like to know if you have the plane of the tool where the engraving tool is mounted
@@ambroscustom I would like to be able to build it and be able to start with engraving since I like this art and I want to take it as entertainment
Welcome mate, the tungsten carbide dimensions are 4mmx4mm and I also uses a high speed one that also have the same dimensions, also the round graver made of HSS is of 4mm dia. I suggest you to go with 3mm they are much better. If you didn't have diamond plate for grinding don't go with carbide, because wet stone can't able to handle tungsten carbide. They worn out very fast and not even able to scratch carbide. I didn't have any plan because people never asked for that. If I get time then I definitely post them here. Try my best to upload soon. Thanks:)
@@ambroscustom I have some blades that I would like to know if they can work to make the engraving tools. You have WhatsApp, I leave you mine + 506-88 21 10 19, can we speak through this means? if you want

Hola no puedo enviarte dinero por paypal. Tenes otra forma de recivir dinero?
No hay problema amigo, deja eso y concéntrate en hacer gravers y plantillas :)
Gracias saludos desde argentina. Sabes que imprimi los pdf pero los agujeros de 8 mkden 7,5mm y las plantillas parecen mas chicas, de unos 2mm menos, da igual?
amigo, el tamaño del agujero realmente no importa porque con un taladro puede agrandarlo fácilmente de acuerdo con el tamaño del soporte. Pero asegúrese de que la altura de la plantilla permanezca como está, porque sobre la base de esas dimensiones tomará referencia y creará ese ángulo perfecto. Si está haciendo un soporte impreso en 3D, no lo haga demasiado voluminoso; de lo contrario, durante el rectificado, podría interferir con la superficie de referencia. buena suerte 👍
En que medida de altura te quedaron las plantillas?
amigo, mi enlace de blog de instructables está en las descripciones, todo lo que necesitas saber está escrito en la publicación. eso seguramente aclarará todas tus dudas.
