@@voightengraving I have subscribed to your channel and activated all notifications on your channel. as in your video there are many obstacles as a beginner. and every country is different too. where in my place it is very difficult to get a graver that fits the pneumatic collet. very rare balls. to buy sharpening handles from Lindsay alone we have to think again because the taxes are so high. and how do we overcome all of that? we do with "D.I.Y". different location other solution. with your video version it opened my mind how from beginner to professional. thank you for sharing your experience.

@@voightengraving maybe you will wonder how I got my pneumatic handle from Turkey 😀😀. even I still can't believe it until now. What is clear is that there is no way I could pay for all of that but God provided an unexpected way.

I understand. The tools are very important but we must always remember that the great masters of the past didn’t have what we have. I hope my videos will continue to help you along. Thanks for your support!

@@voightengraving I really like Video cutting process. I don't have a microscope yet. how many times magnification glass is suitable for engraving? thank

Hand engraving is such a fun challenge. I hope you find the time to begin. Good luck!

My pleasure!

That's great! I wish I had the time for a stone setting class.

Sharpening was my downfall at first. I just didn’t even understand the importance and function of the heel.

Thank you for your comment. I do recommend spending as much as you can afford on a good microscope. It will help greatly. I’m very happy you mentioned transfers. I will post a video soon on the method I use to transfer. It’s the best method I’ve found so far.

@@voightengraving thank you, I’ve subscribed and look forward to it

Thanks for commenting. The most important piece of advice I received when I started is to take the time to learn to draw scrolls perfectly. This way you learn one of the most important things about engraving before ever investing in expensive equipment. If you find that you really want to take the next step then I recommend finding a class or a teacher before you buy. This way you can try engraving before you spend a lot of money. To start I invested close to $4,000 including a 5 day class.

It’s called Thermoloc. Its a thermoplastic the softens when heated and becomes hard when it cools. It’s available through GRS and Amazon.

Thanks for watching my videos!

Yes it’s 15 degrees

I use a Lindsay Classic. It’s pneumatic. I tried most of them and it’s my favorite so far.

Thanks for contacting me. I’ll look forward to meeting you.
