This guys skill, instructional talent and voice makes him the best teacher I have ever come across

After some time, I can now see it, I couldn't before. This is the lesson on which it clicked. Thank you

It looks beautiful Sam .Sign of a true master , you make it look so effortless. Thank you for sharing this with us

You make it look so easy. It's like when I do paintless dent repair and people are like "why so expensive, it looks easy". Ya, because I've been doing it for 10 years and if I miss by half a mm I messed up. Here's you tool, have fun. Sometimes I wanna say "I'll charge you 10 for my labor and 200 to know what to do."

Gotta Bow down to the Master once again, Making it look so effortless just reinforces in me that if I keep at it it will get easier, like everything else in life. Thanks Sam. Great Video as usual.

20 degree heel is causing you to have to push harder thus, you have to grip the graver differently and apply more force to make a cut. for push engraving on flat stock all you need is a 7-10 degree lift and you wont need to wrap fingers around the bottom of the graver anymore because it will require less force to cut through the metal.

Amazing accuracy and style.

Beautiful work and great demonstration thank you.

It's always at 1am that I find these videos and it makes me want to go try making a graver again. Hopefully I will remember in the morning, but if its anything like the last three days I doubt it. But I had no idea that it was possible to push grave with such apparent ease. I really want to experiment with engraving, but the scary price tags on the pneumatic gravers is terrifying. I have a pneumatic engraving tool like for writing your name on something you don't want to lose, but I want something a little more controllable. Before the pandemic I meant to make a bunch of gravers with a blacksmith friend in college, but we never got the chance to get back into the metal lab before I graduated. I think I should be able to make one of these with HSS. If not maybe I can try using 1095 steel like I planned before. Thank you for the knowledge!

Amazing work!

Nice...pure and simple..nice!

good work by pushing hand tool. I am also gold engraver since 1971 in india but with hand tool + small hamer with mirror shing image on ornament not pushig tool.. Thanks for sharing your art.

impressive skills.. and art

Ooooooh!!! You are a very good master!!!

That was hypnotic to watch! Can you explain a bit about your setup? It looks like a vice on a turntable, but can you explain a bit about how are you hold the tool and turn the work?

How beautiful! Do you roll out ink and print with this plate?

I hope people appriciate your talent amazing !

im blown away

That was fun to watch.

Hi, it's so beautiful :) Thank you ;)

At first I was fairly impressed...then I saw your thumb nail take up THE ENTIRE SCREEN, and I was VERY impressed.

Too amazing, master, do you use knives are electric or manual? thank you

You make it look easy, that's the sign of a master! I'm charmed by the beauty of this motif. Is there such a thing as books of motifs for engraving that you can copy or get inspiration from?

Man you are very good at engraving. I would love to learn how to engrave before my flintlock rifle arrives but that’s probably not gonna happen.

Beautiful

would love to learn this kind of engraving

Hmm I was thinking about buy a air graver. But maybe I should just start with push.. beautiful work!

Can you tell me what kind of steel is often used to make an engraver? Also what Rockwell are the treated too? Thanks

Beautiful engraving,I have tried many artistic crafts gilding / sculpture all sorts I tried some years ago to engrave copper sheet having made some lino prints I designed for book illustrations but cutting metal well just one slip and it good buy Vienna but at the time I had no idea to ,use a spinning table thing but still very very skilled I have all ways admired engraved steel, may try something one day?

I noticed that a couple of people asked where to purchase this tool. Sadly they got no response ?

Same, How many grams or ounces of downward and forward pressures are needed with your hand? I have basal arthritis, and want to delay surgery on my dominate hand (left). How much does a power graver help with the needed pressures? Thanks tons, Cady

you're my idol good job

Hi Sam. Thank You for sharing. May I ask what you use to hold and freely move the vice while engraving?

Was shading done with same graver as backbone lines?

soooooo good for my OCD....

Hi sam . Verry nice

I'm intreaged by this.

try 45 degree face and about 8 degrees of lift to start. and give it a little time to get accustomed to the lower angle.

Thanks Sam:one questions,when a video in spanish?,thenks

What machine you are using also Do you use the Air pressure?

Sam, where to get this tools?

after using your buzz tools for so long it may take a while to get control of it with the low lift angle.

Hello. Could you please tell me what you use to blacken your engravings? Does it last for a long time? I would need a paint/resin/other media to blacken the engravings on a wedding band, so I need something that lasts for quite a while

Sam, where can I go to purchase some of the hand engravers. i have been a fan of the art for some time. I would like to purchase a few tools to practice the trade. i enjoy your work and appreciate your help. thanks.

I doubt I could afford it, but do you have a website I can check out? I've got a titanium handled knife I'm hoping to have done with scroll work

Push graver for a beginner or skip it and straight to pneumatic?

also a push engraver cuts 99 percent of cuts in a counter clockwise fashion, and you need to spin the ball when you exit , the points on those scrolls will look much better.

Hi there av been looking for metal graving chisels on the web but can’t find any😞any chance someone can link me to some ✌️

Could you hand cut real metal like this or just softs like the copper

Where can I buy this graver??

Tanks for you information I give a try. I'm a jeweler craft in a diamond set and handmade pieces,,

Shading , yang untuk saya Sulit,, 👍👍👍👍👍👍

can u hand push and engrave on guns?

glides beautiful right up till it's in my hand then it goes horribly wrong and ohhh boy 😂😂😂😣

Sam, Is this part of your sharpening video?

we used to draw and engrave a six inch cuff bracelet in under an hour usually. i don't think you guys are making your gravers sharp enough, or else you are just afraid to spin the block. either way, it is actually easier to get a smooth curve when you actually spin the ball at a faster pace!

they are all called scorpers ,regardless of shape.

Did you pay $382 dollars for that GRS sharpening tool???? I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you. No really, it's nice, but I could never buy one. My husband would have a heart attack? And, I love him.

Unghierella piana rigata mezza tonda 2righi bulino

it is like you guys are engraving in slow motion. years ago i could have engraved that in ten seconds.
