Hello All! It's been a long while since I was here. I'm finally taking the plunge!! Been a leatherworker for many years now and have always dreamed of adding custom silver engraved pieces to my line but have been busy building up to it!! Last year I bought a gently used Gravermeister without foot pedal and hand piece. Today GRS is shipping my foot pedal, 915 hand piece and standard block along with the system upgrade for my machine!! (Oh yeah, and Jeremiah Watt's silver smithing, engraving and bit/spur making video series).
SOOOO, now I need to know from you experienced engravers, who is the best supplier for practice materials?? The only supplier's I have found are OttoFrei, GRS and C.C. Silver and Gold, Inc. What material is the closest in engraving properties (& most inexpensive) to silver? Is it copper? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!!
MANY Thanks!!
