While all your skills are outstanding, your mastery of the piercing saw is what impressed me the most. I regularly use a piercing saw, and I tell you, controlling the blade like you do is skill one must be born with. Thanks for sharing!
A piercing saw is one of the most intuitive things ever.... most people can grasp it with an hour.... you must have some very shaky hands or your blades are cheap rubbish
I've always heard that if you have to ask for a price before you purchase it then its most likely to expensive,I won't be asking for the price of that but....for some reason I feel as tho I owe you something just for the privilege of being able to watch that being done. You sir are a craftsmen in every definition of the word
Oh, SNAP! what a painstaking process. Hard to think this was all done with out electricity years ago. My eyes and head hurts just watching the process. Now, this is ART!!! Major respect.
I can literally see the dip you have made with that needle file..... and what a bizarre size to inlay!!!? Just there all on it’s own... looks like a stamp
this video was excellent teaching for me that want to learning about this art,thank you so much and God continue bless you and your family.l am sorry but my ingles is not good but l am learning hug from brazil.
Amazing work and thanks for taking the time to upload and share this. I'm new to your channel so apologies if you've answered this in another video, but would you be able to tell me the name of the automatic tool you use for the ingraving? Thanks again 👍
Im looking to getting into engraving and doing simple inlay work any tips for beginning? I was going to buy the grs g8 graver but just wondering what you think about how i should go about beginning this art form...amazing work love the video
Hello Jan, Your skill and mastery demonstrated here is truly amazing. You have quite a beautiful vice. Do you mind what brand it is and were you purchased it. Much appreciated!
Maybe I missed it, but you never showed off the final, finished product. I saw when you had it sideways, right after you removed the paint, but I would like to have got a good look at it for a few seconds. Maybe even a close-up. I watched the whole video to see the final, finished art and got really let down. From what little I saw it was fantastic!
@tabasdezh. Greetings. I think I can answer this for you. Somewhere around the 15:30 minute mark when he is smoking the outline with candle suit, I believe he says the gold sheet is .3 mm thick. I’m pretty sure that’s what he said. If you need to verify it yourself, fast forward through the video until you see the candle, then hit play. Hope that helps! Best!
@@JanHendrikViljoen Wait - $12 per hour for the skill you've shown. You are NOT paying yourself enough. I see this quite often with craftsmen. I think you need to rethink the cost of your time.
It’s a Steve Lindsay set up. The sound of the hand piece and the shape of the gravers are like his, plus at one point you can see ‘Steve-‘ on the graver tip suggesting it’s graverstock from him too.
hoi Jan Amazing work, Waar kan ik goede burijnen om te etsen in metaal kopen? En welke set burijnen beveel je aan om te starten? Ik heb ervaring in het toolen van leder, en wil nu ook de metalen versieringen op het leder zelf graveren! Ik vind niet direkt een winkel in de Benelux of Duitsland die deze werktuigen verkoopt. bedankt bij voorbaat ;-)
Molten gold has a very high surface tension. It would just form round a clump in the middle of the engraving if you tried to pour it like that. Wouldn't work at all.
Over time I have come to the realization there are polarizing artists, celebrities, music, etc. Rush, David Bowie, Lou Reed, are examples. Some people like them and some people do not. Neil Young is one of those. I never cared for Neil myself. Nothing against him or his music. I personally think he's overrated. It shouldn't bother anyone. But I can understand the disappointment when 1 person you really like doesn't like a person _you_ really like.
well you ruined that whole video by not showing a clear image of the finished work at the end. See for a lot of people most of the enjoyment of these videos is the anticipation and excitement of seeing and enjoying the finished product at the end. This is not to take anything away from your skills, as it looked a lovely peace, I just wish i had seen it in all it's full potential glory... Now I will never know!
This is my problem with abs and African blade smith society..... they are making functional art yes.. but in reality there’s zero function.. they perform cutting tests etc then inlay gold etc... making it a wall hanger in axe shape.... doesn’t make sense to me... decorate the scabbard and fitting not the blade

Amazing.What's the name of that black ink ?
Thank You
Nice job.
Thanks!
Amazing stuff!
Hi Jan
Very impressive and insightful work. Can you share what type of gravers you have used and where did you buy them.
nice work thanks for the lesson
Excellent👍
Can these same techniques be applied to make embellishments with Abalone or pearl?
Im looking to getting into engraving and doing simple inlay work any tips for beginning? I was going to buy the grs g8 graver but just wondering what you think about how i should go about beginning this art form...amazing work love the video

You can pause the video from the beginning and see to completed workmanship. Fantastic job Jan!
It was an impressive job, may I ask what was the thickness of your gold sheet?

Best!
Can i do the same with laser printed design on paper to mark on sterling silver? And is it work only with acetone?
What equipment do you use for the process? Specifically, the electronic engraving tools, please.
Hi Jan, amazing work! On average, how much would a gold inlayer like you charge to do this piece or a similar piece?
I work at around R150 to R200 ZAR per hour. That is roughly $10 to$12 USD per hour excluding gold cost

@@christianpaul3303 I’d have to say That’s not really what he charges and he really doesn’t want to say. I would have to imagine.
Impressive.
Is it me or can you hear how crispy and crunchy that steel is as he cuts?
Out if curiosity, are you using a Lindsey power engraving tool? It doesn't sound like a GRS model. Thank you for your time.
It’s a Steve Lindsay set up. The sound of the hand piece and the shape of the gravers are like his, plus at one point you can see ‘Steve-‘ on the graver tip suggesting it’s graverstock from him too.
When doing outline are you engraving on the outside of the gold , in between or on the gold
Just outside the gold inlay area
Thank you. amazing work
Wonderful
Watching this makes me feel like a ham fisted impatient oaf. Respect.
The handcraft worth too much money. The engraved rifle is so beautiful
hoi Jan Amazing work,
Waar kan ik goede burijnen om te etsen in metaal kopen?
En welke set burijnen beveel je aan om te starten?
Ik heb ervaring in het toolen van leder, en wil nu ook de metalen versieringen op het leder zelf graveren!
Ik vind niet direkt een winkel in de Benelux of Duitsland die deze werktuigen verkoopt.
bedankt bij voorbaat ;-)
I suggest you buy from Lindsay engraving. Just search on Google. In my opinion Lindsay engraving equipment is the best quality you will find.
That is super cool1
Hello friend, how thick is the gold plate? thankful.
Baie mooi werk!
Perfect
man, i was thinking of having this done on a japanese sushi knife.
How do you keep it from slipping and skating over the surface? Just strong hand grip?
sharp tools do the trick i imagine
nice. can this be done on the silver?
Fine silver and copper can also be used to inlay.
Prachtig gedaan!! Hoe ziet zo'n graveerpunt er uit waarmee je de undercut maakt?
Hello great works ! what kind of tool do you use at 11.30 ( handpiece) ?
Jan waar het jy daai Rust-Oleum paint gekoop, ek kry net die spray blik in my dorp.
Ek het by Jimnetts gekoop in Pretoria
@@JanHendrikViljoen . Dankie, sal kyk of ek iemand kan kry wat in Pretoria bly om vir my te koop. Hul online shop het dit nie op hul website nie.
does anyone know the name of this electric chisel?
It is a Lindsay classic air graver
Is this possible to do after steel is hardened?
Possible?yes, enjoyable? Not necessarily
Wow
Cosa è quella sostanza nera?
Was it a 0/4 or 0/6 sawblade?
I used a 6/0 sawblade
Where do you buy your blades
Класс!:-)
What is the thickness on the brass that you use
I used 24ct gold. The thickness is approximately 0.3mm.
Thanks
Where can I get this material?
@@JanHendrikViljoen very nice...I hope you saved all those little gold chips
Why can’t you melt the gold import into the engraving? F***ing amazing tho
Molten gold has a very high surface tension. It would just form round a clump in the middle of the engraving if you tried to pour it like that. Wouldn't work at all.

Its really not helpful to keep the audio when the video is sped up its just annoying.
Annoying? So is whining like a child. Turn the volume down like an adult.
