    Critique Request New one from the bench

    Hey folks, here's a new one from the bench. I'm still trying to get my inlay to where I like it. I'm pretty sure I need to dig a little deeper. Went .020" this time, but I'm thinking the magic number is around .030" for the size stone I'm using. This one is turquoise and what's supposed to be...

    Critique Request Knife I did.

    Sage, I'm not sure if you've looked at them yet, but Byrd by Spyderco are well made, affordable knives that cut fairly well.

    Gerber Flatiron negative relief

    Hey folks, I wanted to share a knife I knocked out yesterday. Cutting this soft aluminum is pretty tricky, but it's nice to be able to complete an entire project in one day.

    TRANSFERS

    Brother laser copier and basic nail polish remover works for me. Just make sure the part is warm and 3X clean with acetone.

    What is a good printer setup for doing transfers on to metal?

    As a tattooer of many years we always had access to old thermal (Thermofax) printers. Basically they print a stencil made up of gentian violet dye that transfers to skin from a translucent paper. With tattooing you'll prep the skin first with soap or some other medium, apply the stencil, remove...

    Stainless steel blanks

    Lots of great advise already. I'd also add that annealing the steel beforehand seems to help me as well, Heat it to cherry red for a minute or so and then stick it in some (fresh) kitty litter for about 10 minutes or until its cool. This helps to relax the steel and evens out the hard spots

    Shading technique

    I use the Lindsay Bench Jewel. It's a pneumatic powered graver.

    Shading technique

    I like to use a 120° for shading. It takes some finesse, but I like that I can taper from a hair line to a wide finish without having to go too deep.

    Dan I took a look at that site, but I couldn't find anything to do with engraving. Did I miss something?

    Arizona engravers?

    I know this thread is pretty old, but I'm looking for instruction in the Phoenix area as well. I sent a message to Bryan, and I hope to hear back from him, but I feel like I read somewhere that he retired. I also looked for an engraving class up at Yavapai CC, but could only find the gunsmithing...

    Critique Request Attempting to learn a more flowing style

    I appreciate your kind words, however I had technology on my side when drawing this. As a professional tattooer I transitioned to doing 90% of my artwork on a tablet a few years back. Having a program like Sketchbook Pro gives me the ability to zoom in incredibly close so that I can get all my...
