My father was a master jeweler, hand engraver, and watchmaker for over 40 years. He had his own shop and also manufactured a good bit of his inventory himself. His specialty was initial monogram pieces. He would hand draw in pencil the design, then engrave, drill out the spaces, and then hand saw (wire blade) each and every piece himself. To entertain himself during this lengthy and time-consuming task, he would listen in headphones to old AM Radio broadcasts of New Orleans Saints games he recorded on casette years before. He must have done at least 10k pieces in his career, all of them one of a kind. Thank you for sharing this video. You are very talented as well.
Thank you Julie. I use many different techniques when I design making my jewelry. I want each piece to be different, unique. But I’ve not as yet, attempted graving. However, watching just this brief tutorial I can already see that it would definitely be a useful technique for me to learn and put to use in my shop. I could use it in so many different pieces which would add so much more lovely texture and design. I subscribed to your TH-cam channel and will be searching for more educational content from you. Again, thank you.
Has the heel already been honed in prior to retouching the face? Is it the heel or the belly of the graver you are polishing? I understand polishing the heel is crucial to a smooth cut as it is what "rides" along the bottom of the cut. The belly is the bottom portion of the graver along its length ending at the heels. Graver geometry requires a heel as the graver would otherwise have nothing to control the depth of cut. Without it the graver will just continually stab down and into the workpiece like a chisel. Creating a 0.25mm to 0.5mm heel allows the graver to glide at a specific depth as once you are at the depth of cut you want you level out the heel which is now essentially parallel to the bottom of the cut allowing it to glide at that depth continually. If you want to cut deeper, tipping the graver handle upwards while easing up and out of the cut by tilting the graver handle down while you push.
Hi I am interested in learning how to push grave. I have no idea as to which gravers to get. I want to grave brass and copper. I want to buy a selection of the main types. Onglette, knife, round, square, etc... but the more I look into it the more confused I get. I have no idea as to what size and angle to buy. I want to engrave scrolls and such onto key rings and desert plate sized copper and small boxes etc... I've never done this before so I couldn't tell you what angle I like to grave at or depth of cuts I prefer to make. The few specialized sites I've gone to expect me to know such things already and I don't. I also can't find anything on here that covers such things in the level of detail I'm looking for. I want the size and angle and basic types best suited for a noob. I'd rather not buy a set only to find that I should have bought the opposite angle and three sizes bigger or smaller until I find the ones I actually wanted. I won't be using anything powered either. And I don't know which brand is best either. I'd also prefer not to buy from amazon but rather a specialized site for such things. I think HSS would be sufficient and most affordable for my needs. Also any links to where I can buy a hand held jig for sharpening them would also be a benefit. thanks
@@julieanctil1440 You don't mention the angle for the tool. Most sites of any repute and that aren't using Google translate Chinglish ask that you pick the angle for the tools you buy. They come in increments of one degree starting at 45° and decreasing until approximately 17° depending on the website you visit. I am assuming that there is a sweet spot range that is easier for the novice aka me to use rather than an angle outside of that range. I could trial and error the process until I find out what that range is, but I neither want to buy a bunch of the same #2 onglete or regrind one tool multiple times till I find the angle that suits me.

I used to listen to books on tape! Now luckily we have podcasts. ❤
I also looked through your videos and couldn't find the previous video you mentioned where you talk about setting up your graver.

Yes, the belly and slight heel are polished.
👍👍👍👍👍
thank you. Could I ask how you remove the setter's cement from the back of the metal when finished? Thank you
Warm up the piece until you can remove as much as you can with your nails. Then soak in isopropyl alcohol.
What kind of graver would you suggest for cleaning up the bezel after stone is set?
Onglette #2 graver
Where is the best place to find used equipment to start?
Try to find local jeweler groups on social media. Or ask at your local jewelry suppliers.
Nice
Can you tell us what's the name and size of graver
It is an onglette graver no 2

We start our students on onglette #2. It’s a good start but you will want to purchase a few more afterwards.
@@julieanctil1440 I have checked sites and there are tons of different angles for them which should I get? Ty

Dont put a body part in the way of the graver--- so what about at 4.26, looks dodgy to me !
