A complete video showing all the steps needed to do gold inlay work in steel using hand engraving techniques with an air graver. In the Gold Griffon inlay tutorial video, important aspects are covered like design transfer using a laser copy and acetone, making a smoke print, undercutting and raising teeth, piercing the inlay piece from 24ct gold sheet, setting the gold inlay with a brass punch, finishing the inlay flush with the metal surface, cutting the fine details in the gold and inking the finished inlay.

While all your skills are outstanding, your mastery of the piercing saw is what impressed me the most. I regularly use a piercing saw, and I tell you, controlling the blade like you do is skill one must be born with. Thanks for sharing!

A piercing saw is one of the most intuitive things ever.... most people can grasp it with an hour.... you must have some very shaky hands or your blades are cheap rubbish

Maybe I missed it, but you never showed off the final, finished product. I saw when you had it sideways, right after you removed the paint, but I would like to have got a good look at it for a few seconds. Maybe even a close-up. I watched the whole video to see the final, finished art and got really let down. From what little I saw it was fantastic!

@tabasdezh. Greetings. I think I can answer this for you. Somewhere around the 15:30 minute mark when he is smoking the outline with candle suit, I believe he says the gold sheet is .3 mm thick. I’m pretty sure that’s what he said. If you need to verify it yourself, fast forward through the video until you see the candle, then hit play. Hope that helps! Best!

Out if curiosity, are you using a Lindsey power engraving tool? It doesn't sound like a GRS model. Thank you for your time.

@MrFlyingSquirl 4 жыл бұрын

It’s a Steve Lindsay set up. The sound of the hand piece and the shape of the gravers are like his, plus at one point you can see ‘Steve-‘ on the graver tip suggesting it’s graverstock from him too.

Molten gold has a very high surface tension. It would just form round a clump in the middle of the engraving if you tried to pour it like that. Wouldn't work at all.

Over time I have come to the realization there are polarizing artists, celebrities, music, etc. Rush, David Bowie, Lou Reed, are examples. Some people like them and some people do not. Neil Young is one of those. I never cared for Neil myself. Nothing against him or his music. I personally think he's overrated. It shouldn't bother anyone. But I can understand the disappointment when 1 person you really like doesn't like a person _you_ really like.

well you ruined that whole video by not showing a clear image of the finished work at the end. See for a lot of people most of the enjoyment of these videos is the anticipation and excitement of seeing and enjoying the finished product at the end. This is not to take anything away from your skills, as it looked a lovely peace, I just wish i had seen it in all it's full potential glory... Now I will never know!
