@@madrail9103 I’m still totally new and getting into inlays now. I’ve heard a good way is to start with a standard v-cut graver and then move to flat graver to widen the “v” and then do your undercuts.

@@TyrellKnifeworks ahh right that makes sense. I've done a bit of v groove engraving (the hammering method) and the main thing I struggled with was the depth, and also the lack of a spinning vise. I want to get into it at some point soon but I feel I need to improve my other skills a bit more first.

Thanks!! I haven’t actually seen the issue yet. I’ll have to grab a copy or three. ❤️

I tried to get into engraving. Doing the engraving and getting good at it is one thing. Making the design is my biggest hurtle. I can’t draw (not well enough) or have the imagination to apply it to paper. It takes a real artist to create a design.

I hope so, James! It will be a fun learning experience I think.

Alec Steele did a bunch of videos a while back on engraving. I think he even took an entire course on it. Very tough nut to crack. Pretty much an entire skill set on its own. The biggest thing is it’s really hard to fix errors. I have no doubt you’ll become proficient…practice, practice, practice. Take a course if you can find one. I think Alec went to one in TX. Good luck with it! Looking forward to seeing it in future videos.

Engraving really is a whole other craft unto itself. I mean heck the really best ones its more or less all they do for a living, mostly because it takes ages to learn and even more to do the designs themselves. Might be worth picking up a course on it with someone who can help you along and get you started.
