He's from old school. He help me with hand engraver and vice because it's very expensive for me and I don't have more money and on the other size I learn shading gravers.

Over here we use a cut down .38 cartridge casing for a ferrule.
What do y'all use ?
Your grandpa is a wise man, as well as you for listening to him.

Please take your coat off. Those sleeves are just inches from being caught in the chuck and if they do you will not be doing any engraving for a while and maybe never. No loose clothing near the lathe chuck and roll sleeves above the elbow. I hope you are wearing safety glasses.

In this garage was cold. I told him to be carefull but he only smile on me. He used only glasses for reading and just started with handle. I know it's looks like dangerous but I belive him. He does with this machine more years.

Be sure to put a flat spot on the handle so it won't roll off the bench. Like this:

The flat part is also for clearance between the burin and the work piece.
