It looks beautiful Sam .Sign of a true master , you make it look so effortless. Thank you for sharing this with us

This guys skill, instructional talent and voice makes him the best teacher I have ever come across

Gotta Bow down to the Master once again, Making it look so effortless just reinforces in me that if I keep at it it will get easier, like everything else in life. Thanks Sam. Great Video as usual.

Amazing accuracy and style.

Beautiful work and great demonstration thank you.

After some time, I can now see it, I couldn't before. This is the lesson on which it clicked. Thank you

Nice...pure and simple..nice!

Amazing work!

You make it look so easy. It's like when I do paintless dent repair and people are like "why so expensive, it looks easy". Ya, because I've been doing it for 10 years and if I miss by half a mm I messed up. Here's you tool, have fun. Sometimes I wanna say "I'll charge you 10 for my labor and 200 to know what to do."

impressive skills.. and art

It's always at 1am that I find these videos and it makes me want to go try making a graver again. Hopefully I will remember in the morning, but if its anything like the last three days I doubt it. But I had no idea that it was possible to push grave with such apparent ease. I really want to experiment with engraving, but the scary price tags on the pneumatic gravers is terrifying. I have a pneumatic engraving tool like for writing your name on something you don't want to lose, but I want something a little more controllable. Before the pandemic I meant to make a bunch of gravers with a blacksmith friend in college, but we never got the chance to get back into the metal lab before I graduated. I think I should be able to make one of these with HSS. If not maybe I can try using 1095 steel like I planned before. Thank you for the knowledge!

Ooooooh!!! You are a very good master!!!

20 degree heel is causing you to have to push harder thus, you have to grip the graver differently and apply more force to make a cut. for push engraving on flat stock all you need is a 7-10 degree lift and you wont need to wrap fingers around the bottom of the graver anymore because it will require less force to cut through the metal.

I hope people appriciate your talent amazing !

Hi I like to know

im blown away

That was fun to watch.

That was hypnotic to watch! Can you explain a bit about your setup? It looks like a vice on a turntable, but can you explain a bit about how are you hold the tool and turn the work?

good work by pushing hand tool. I am also gold engraver since 1971 in india but with hand tool + small hamer with mirror shing image on ornament not pushig tool.. Thanks for sharing your art.

Beautiful

would love to learn this kind of engraving

Man you are very good at engraving. I would love to learn how to engrave before my flintlock rifle arrives but that’s probably not gonna happen.

How beautiful! Do you roll out ink and print with this plate?

you're my idol good job

Hi, it's so beautiful :) Thank you ;)

soooooo good for my OCD....

At first I was fairly impressed...then I saw your thumb nail take up THE ENTIRE SCREEN, and I was VERY impressed.

I was all messed up until I saw that. I was thinking "How do they get such a deep groove?" (like 1/16"), and realized it was magnified 10 times. Makes me feel a little better.

Too amazing, master, do you use knives are electric or manual? thank you

You make it look easy, that's the sign of a master! I'm charmed by the beauty of this motif. Is there such a thing as books of motifs for engraving that you can copy or get inspiration from?

Beautiful engraving,I have tried many artistic crafts gilding / sculpture all sorts I tried some years ago to engrave copper sheet having made some lino prints I designed for book illustrations but cutting metal well just one slip and it good buy Vienna but at the time I had no idea to ,use a spinning table thing but still very very skilled I have all ways admired engraved steel, may try something one day?

I noticed that a couple of people asked where to purchase this tool. Sadly they got no response ?

Hi sam . Verry nice

Same, How many grams or ounces of downward and forward pressures are needed with your hand? I have basal arthritis, and want to delay surgery on my dominate hand (left). How much does a power graver help with the needed pressures? Thanks tons, Cady

Sam, where to get this tools?

Was shading done with same graver as backbone lines?

Sam, where can I go to purchase some of the hand engravers. i have been a fan of the art for some time. I would like to purchase a few tools to practice the trade. i enjoy your work and appreciate your help. thanks.

GRS carries a variety of gravers as well as handles search their site and dont let the high price machines scare you off before you find what you need.

Thanks Sam:one questions,when a video in spanish?,thenks

I doubt I could afford it, but do you have a website I can check out? I've got a titanium handled knife I'm hoping to have done with scroll work

What machine you are using also Do you use the Air pressure?

after using your buzz tools for so long it may take a while to get control of it with the low lift angle.

Hello. Could you please tell me what you use to blacken your engravings? Does it last for a long time? I would need a paint/resin/other media to blacken the engravings on a wedding band, so I need something that lasts for quite a while

I use black rustolium or krylon spray paints. I spray the paint into the cap and the apply with a small brush and the wipe the surface free of paint with paper towels or an old rag that has a clean surface.

try 45 degree face and about 8 degrees of lift to start. and give it a little time to get accustomed to the lower angle.

Neo Klyptic in SIRIA's war

also a push engraver cuts 99 percent of cuts in a counter clockwise fashion, and you need to spin the ball when you exit , the points on those scrolls will look much better.

Could you hand cut real metal like this or just softs like the copper

can u hand push and engrave on guns?

glides beautiful right up till it's in my hand then it goes horribly wrong and ohhh boy 😂😂😂😣

we used to draw and engrave a six inch cuff bracelet in under an hour usually. i don't think you guys are making your gravers sharp enough, or else you are just afraid to spin the block. either way, it is actually easier to get a smooth curve when you actually spin the ball at a faster pace!

Did you pay $382 dollars for that GRS sharpening tool???? I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you. No really, it's nice, but I could never buy one. My husband would have a heart attack? And, I love him.

they are all called scorpers ,regardless of shape.
