    You are well on your way to becoming a strong engraver. Don't take this wrong but add some mass to you lazy susan, it looks way to goosy/easily turned. You will do better with some friction when rotating, engraving ball vises have mass to smooth out the turning. One last thing, if you grinde down the SIDES of your graver it will be easier to see where you are going and you won't have to stop/start as often which makes it easier to get dog legs in the scroll. Suggest you grind off 1/3 of the diameter on each side of the business end about 3/4" back. Good luck, its a lot of fun ad the ooohs and awsss aren't hard to take either!! If you are not a FEGA member consider joining. Lots of help from very talented people there.

  • @davidmonteleone997
    @davidmonteleone997 Před 2 lety +1

    Awesome work man, was the slide stripped to bare metal before you started? If so how would you go about refinishing/painting the raised portion without covering the engraved portion? For instance if you wanted the raised portion to be white but the engroaved portion to be the black you used in the video? Thanks for the upload your awesome!!

    • @jwsahm6703
      @jwsahm6703  Před 2 lety

      If you wanted the raised portion to be painted but not the engraving you could paint it first and engrave through the paint (or whatever finish it has), though this is not always recommended. To make the engraving black but not the metal I just rub black enamel into it and wipe away the excess. Also the gun was stainless to begin with so no prior prepping was done. Hope that answers it, thanks for watching :D

    What size graver did you use for the outline… and was that a pneumatic one for the stipling? What size.. I have been wanting to do this for so long but Im a little confused on what sizes to begin with. I also want to it by hand but I have a feeling mine won’t be anywhere as beautiful as this. I’ll just practice on some scrap metal.

  • @thomasvanlanen6279
    @thomasvanlanen6279 Před 3 lety +3

    Nice work! I have a question. What are your graver heel angles and width? sometimes I doubt if I get mine right, they dive in the metal really easy.

    • @jwsahm6703
      @jwsahm6703  Před 3 lety

      I set the heel by eye so I don't know what the exact angle is, but around 15 degrees is a good start. The size of the heel is also important. Too small and the graver will just dig in as the heel is not big enough to ride on, and you will have to lower your hand just to keep it from digging in further. Too big and you will have to raise your hand high just to start a line.
      I use carbide gravers, but a high speed steel (HSS) graver is useful to practice graver geometry as they are much easier to shape and grind then carbide (at the cost of durability)

    • @thomasvanlanen6279
      @thomasvanlanen6279 Před 3 lety

      Thanks! Thought I was doing something wrong in the sharpening, maybe it’s my crappy turntable that vibrates that’s causing the cmax gravers to break.
