Hello, Im new here (been patrolling the forums for awhile) and would like to start engraving various things. I am wondering what all of you guys use for your setups and what kind of work you guys do. I plan on taking a few classes soon, but am very excited and would like to go ahead and get started. My grandfather used to do this for a living and i helped him some, but i never enquired about what certain things do or brands of vises etc. I was pretty much just handed a tool (he used hand tools, not an airgraver or any pneumatic device) and just kinda went with whatever he told me to try on some scrap metal that he had. More or less, i have had a limited amount of hands on experience, but was never taught any of the technical aspects of the trade but i am very eager to learn. Im mainly interested in firearms and jewelry (two polar opposites, i know haha). Any recommendations on where to start or what to get, or information about your personal setup will be greatly appreciated!
