Graver and hone demo

A new YouTube, Graver and hone demo

I thought this might help demystify graver sharpening and if it helps a couple of new engravers that’s great.
I’m not endorsing any of the tools or products. I think they are all are great and I use all of them- LINDSAY, ALFANO, and GRS. What ever works best for you and improves your art! I think I like the tools more than I like engraving. Is that bad?

Steve,

How well did the calligraphy graver work for you during your shading trial?

Thanks for the video.

Thanks Guys,
Silverchip, it was a split lap polisher that I got at a garage sale for $10. I did a little alterations to it and put the grs diamond wheel on. It has a Dayton AC-DC series 1/7 hp motor in it and is rated to do 0 - 10,000 RPM.

Jim, haven't tried the graver yet it's my day off. Maybe tomorrow when I'm back to work.

Steve
