This is a good one. You won't regret purchasing this, that's for sure. Sam walks you through every step of lettering. If you want to learn lettering this is way better than strugling with books.

Trying to determine if I should buy the DVD or the direct download to my computer. Any thoughts on this, advantages/disadvantages?

 

[Mike Dubber]

Having taught the techniques of hand engraved lettering for many years, I heartily recommend Sam's Lettering Techniques cd as an outstanding study resource for any hand engraver. Lettering has been the base of my engraving career as a working jeweler, and I can tell you that this cd will help you understand how to design, layout and engrave letters for maximum effect. Lettering skills should be at the top every engraver's list of skills.

Paypal not accepting my city/state/zip code Guess I'm out of luck!

I have a question that may be obvious but I'm just curious. Sam in the demonstration you use a divider like a scribe to lay out your letters. After engraving one doesn't usually polish that diminishes the engraving. So how do you remove your scribe marks when you're finished?

There only disadvantage to the download is that you will have to stream the video to your TV if you want to watch it in the living room. It's super easy to do if you have Apple TV, and there may be other ways that I'm not aware of. The advantage of the download is that you get it immediately, don't pay postage, and can easily copy it to your other computers and your iPad or iPhone, and you will have access to it when you change computers or a hard drive crashes, etc.

If you're referring to marking device, it's one I copied from E.C. Prudhomme years ago. It has a brass pin that lightly marks the metal without scratching. Any remaining marks can normally be polished out with a polishing cloth. I should add that when teaching a class or making a video, I tend to mark a bit heavier so that it can be seen on the classroom monitor or on the recorded video.

 

[mdengraver]

Thanks for the explanation Saw. I always used a compass with a pencil on the end. That's why I asked. Where do you get these brass pins and how do you attach them?
