    Critique Request Late Night Engraving

    Hey y’all, This must be my fifth engraving, if not counting the botched practice plates with just random lines and scribbles. This one took me two hours to complete. I also sharpened my two gravers (0.4 and 0.8 QC flats) by hand after watching Sam Alfano’s video a few times on how to sharpen...

    Hey y’all, I’m sure this has been covered multiple times, and I apologize. I would love to try a c-max or glensteel graver at some point, mainly because the QC gravers don’t have the pre-shaped wedge shape. I’m a little confused because a video on Youtube by GRS uploaded four years ago has...

    Question: Engrave Motorcycle Parts

    Hello friends, I’m new to the forum, thanks for accepting my request. I’m also new to engraving, and after a year of doubt I finally jumped the fence and bought myself a GRS Graversmith, a 901 handpiece, and two round gravers (0.4 and 0.8 mm) to get started. It was a big chunk out of some...
