Hello you great engravers,
Here are a few engravings I did as practice. Without gravemach but with microscope, so handpower only.
These are some earrings with thanks to Brian Hochstrat .
And half a year ago I joint a gym and for three months I had a personal trainer.
Thought it would be nice to make her a medal (Her innitials are E.K. which allso stand for European Championship and with Thanks to Sam and his crossed ribbon.) with a little joke on the backside.
This is the litle joke on the backside is a practise thingy whitch on the real medal looks already a bit more concistent in the lettering. Still 0.7mm for the smaller letters is not the best way to start to practise engraving letters
It says,
Eline,
Whenn I see you, My
Heartrate fly's up, My
leggs start to shake and
my sweat breaks out.
Youre the best,
Daniel
In Dutch this would mean "smitten with love" but in reality this aply's to her perfectly, pffff
I made very little gravers for this lettering. Carbide tipped burrs changed into a little flat graver and a tiny 100degree graver (can't seem to be able to handle the 120 degree one)
Still an Everest to be learned but I'm having fun in my spare time.
Any tips onengraving letters?
Greatings,
Daniel
