- Engraving a brass practice plate.
Engraving is done with the Lindsay Classic incorporating the Pat. Lindsay Point. Video shows primary cuts, background removal, texturing the relieved background and the final detail engraving of the leaves and stems.
I have never seen anything like this. To say I am in awe is quite an understatement. I am studying beginning silversmithing and this just blows me away. Thank you for such an inspiring video.

Belt buckles are fun to do....
Mostly lots of canvas (space)...flat and easy to work on. I have done allot of belt buckles and love the challenge.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Let me know if I can help.

Я не могу сказать,что мне понравилось,но на дальнейшее,это огромный опыт с УВ
.
Nice job Jim.
I love engraving ,and all what you are doing is amazing ,
you have a very good hand and so stapled too ,good luck ,and keep going .
Thank you Jim for your time, I always see beautiful works of art, but never knew how they shadowed them. One day I would like to get into doing this, but the tools are quite pricey. So I guess I'll have to save up. Oh and thanks for not making fun of the way I spelled chemical. sometimes my fingers get ahead of my brain, they say it has something to do with age..

Yes...the square graver is the one graver I use most of the time. The flat graver is more like a chisel. I use different sizes...narrow for fine work and broad points for bright cuts and script. The heal is very important too.....wide narrow fine and so on.
Try to experiment with different sizes and pick the one you like.
Thanks for the question
Jim
haces que se vea tan fácil, excelente trabajo, felicidades...

The white material is a Chinese White available at most art supply stores. You use a little water wipe on a thin coat with your finger...let dry and do your drawing. For the most part I use blue magic marker and lightly scribe the design and then engrave. If you get the Chinese White on two thick it has a tendency to crack and peal off. Thanks for the question.

I use the Lindsay Palm Control.....
I have been engraving since 1980 and enjoy it very much. I work every day in my studio. Thanks for the question and check out the other longer video.

Looks awesome!
That is brilliant, i would love to learn this to add to my cutlery arsenal

If the cast Iron is of good quality...no casting fisuers...it can be engraved. Cast iron is fairly
soft so it should not be hard to cut.

Not to hard to engrave on cylinders....of course, that depends on the diameter....larger, easier
smaller, harder. Thanks to both of you for asking.

There are a number of ways to darken the background on metals:
With steel, brass, and nickle silver you can use a cold blueing solution or you can use
paint....some engravers use a bake on laquer others use the blacking solution used in the jewelery industry. On this particular project practice plate I used a magic marker....simply because it was quicker. Magic marker will not last as long as the aformentioned procedures.
Carlos....
I am using the Lindsay 120 degree Patented Parallel Point....
This works good for me. Some engravers use a 90 point.
Thanks for the note....good luck,
Jim

I use carboloy or carbide gravers and sometime use highspeed tool steel.
I find that the carbide gravers last longer when working on some of the harder stainless steel in both knives and firearms. I also use the Lindsay Palm Control as the working hand piece for all or most of my engraving....you can google Lindsay Palm Control and find more details.
Thanks
Jim
Lester,
For the purpose of this video I used a magic marker. Normally I use a blacking solution from Gueswine ( Jewerly Company ) to blacken the background. On brass as shown in the demo you can use cold blue and the lightly sand the surface. Browinells ( Firearms Supply ) sells a flat black bake on laquer it works well and once baked will not come off even with solvents. All engravers are waiting to see if someone will come up with something that will work on stainless steel
Hope this works
that was amazing.
very interesting how its done. it must take a steady hand
Nice work Jim.
I'm very keen to try this... but that might be because your practiced hand made it look easy... hehe.

I blackened the background with a Sharpie. Later I will use a different process to blacken the background. The Sharpie lends a little depth to the project so you and others can see the process of detail engraving to the finished product. I think I explained the blacking process in some other posts on this sight or in the video.
Anyway....thanks

Pick a popular search engine....read everything you can and then make a decision. There are a couple of forums you can participate in....so give that a try
Thanks for the question.

Hello u have done a fentastic work.and i love this work. I want like this tool kit..
Congratulations!
Good job! I wouldn't brush that piece off without a glove on though. Burrs are a son of a gun :)
Your probably right USTA...
Not a good idea. I don't get cut often...but sometimes I do....and gladly, most of the time not to bad. Chain-mail might be better than a glove.
Jim
beautiful. I've always loved the tone of brass. It's amazing that that entire piece was just larger than your fingertip. What kinds of things are you commissioned to engrave? It's always seemed like a pretty mysterious profession, a true art.

The type of tool used in this engraving is explained during the filming of the project.
If you don't catch it when it shows...then hit the pause button. The instruction show up quickly during this extreme edited version...the original version is over one hour.
Thaks for watching and if you have more questions...just let me know.

The tool is called a Palm Control.
Superb work. Where can one learn about different patterns etc?
Do you use the machine hand engravers also, and if so which make do you use? It must take years to attain the level of expertise that you've displayed in the video. Really nice!
The black effect must have came from the buffing machine, because the metal look shiny than before..
Hello, my name is Theo, I'm from Brazil. I was impressed with your art, would you like to know more about this equipment you use, what is the name and how do you get one of these?
Pilar:
I practice alot. I practice to help me understand the different styles of engraving. This is just one style and for me fairly easy to do. There is another video on TH-cam with a different style and a little more complex than the one showing....I invite you to take a look at it. If I had more time to do videos I would have more on here. I will try to get more produced in the future. Thank you for your interest!
Tools are never 'too expensive'. Some just take longer to pay for.
Notice that used engraving tools are nearly impossible to find. That means those that are sold bring high prices without advertizing.
If you can't do it, you can always sell the kit.
See. It's easy to justify tools for doing most anything.
very nice video. how many time took to make this practice plate?
That's impressive. Are there "starter" engraving kits available for beginners? Also, that fixture looks interesting. Custom made?
whats the best way i can get into engraving and know what to do?
Onde posso comprar ou, que nome tem este aparato que prende o bronze (a peça )que você está esculpindo?
Nice lithograph. Can this be dun to cast iron? I ask because I'm conspiring a beautiful stirling engine.
I want that specific tool in this video. i dont want to order the wrong one is there a name for it
Google engraving forum 313bigdave....check out this site. Stroll through the different area and see what you think. All the pricing information and tutorials are at this site. Thanks for the response.

Que tipo de metal es y que herramienta usa para grabar?
Thats the engraving tool I wanted where can I purchase that and how much it cost I want one for metal
Just like Choras Den said where did the black come from???? could you please explain. Because if you want to show shadow this would be the only way how. Is it a comical like gun bluing, or some kind of stain that won't come off?
How do you make the punch tool? Or if it has not been modified, do you have a link to the punch? I've tried the punch technique and I get more of a stippling effect instead of a smoothing effect.
Take your stippling tool and flaten the sharp end. Take the tool and move it across the removed background. A little tip...instead of using a rounded point...make a square or triangular point. This will allow you to get up into those really tight V angles. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
Thanks for the question....
@@jimsmall1580 chisel how many degrees do you sharpen and use to cut the match?

sorry, but for me it's not a hand engraving,
hand engraving it's for me with hammer and chisel work, but not with air Chisel !
but no matter, everyone has to decide for themselves!
Nevertheless, It is very good work !
Where is your web site? I would like to see an example of your "hand" engraving.
Do you show tips & tricks on your TH-cam channel? Where is your TH-cam site?
For me, using a hammer and chisel is no longer hand engraving. I believe that you must use only your hand and fingernails to really be hand engraving.
