- I am using beginner techniques to engrave a simple scroll design on a machinist square. I talk about various ideas and issues as I work on this project. Join me on my adventure to becoming a better hand engraver.
also, great idea of using small machinists square for practice. if it turns out ok can give it to someone.
i love when tools have that extra custom flair to them. looks good so far! i hope you show the shading and inking and everything else.
I have a couple of more videos from this project I’m working on.
Love your videos. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Justin, just found you throungh the Hand Engravers Podcast. Love your work on Instagram, really glad you have a YT channel. Ive been hand engraving with pushers and hammer and chusel on and off for a couple years and your episode on HEP gave me a lot of inspiration and drive to get better. Thanks so much. Subbed :)
Thanks so much! I’m happy you listened to the episode. I hope to make some useful content here too. Thanks for subscribing
Good Job on the layout and project
Thank you very much
Justin great video great dialogue. Let’s talk about some cad stuff respectfully Paul
Would love to!
tks for advice on the 90 degree graver. and much else.
what would be a good set of gravers for a beginner since i’ll have to make and grind them all myself!-?
I’m of the opinion that you should use what works for you. I purchase blanks from air graver. I am using the Ray Cover set primarily. Although I have few other templates as well. I highly recommend this system for ease of use and consistency.
Nice video Justin I am in the OKC area myself. Would you be able to give me a quick lesson?
I’m sorry I don’t have have the time. I do recommend Ray Cover in Missouri. He’s an outstanding teacher!
hello, what is the name of the plastic you use? is there a purchase link? The videos are different and very clear and very helpful for beginners. Oh yes, I have to make a video explaining how to sharpen the engraver you are using. sharpening is the key to this art isn't it😄😄
Thanks for watching. The plastic is thermoplastic available through grs.com/product/thermo-loc-sticks-1-0-lb-450-gm/
