"Then it's just a matter of cutting the letters". You just need thirty years of muscle-memory to back that up. I love watching old masters.

To those asking about his equipment, the handpiece used is a Lindsay classic engraver on a grs ball vise of some model. Can't account for compressor used but its a quiet one. And for those thinking of rushing out to buy one a setup like that one only comes in around $2,500 if you buy smart. Not that most of the people in this comment section would be able to do anything with such toolage except make a mess.

Beautiful art Mike... It's a pity in some way that talent like yours is seldom seen today. We use computerised systems and while they deliver a quality result, there's nothing like proper hand-engraving.

this guy is awesome.. met him and shook his hand

WOW a true artist

Hi Mike, love your work I am engraver here in Australia and wondering what the ' chinese white ' is you use for setting out, and where you can purchase it online. At present I rub plasticine over article then lightly smear talcum powder over it, but would like to try your method.

Wonderful work

Nice work 👏👏👏👍🏻

This is awesome. What kind of engraving tool are you using?

Hello Mike! Nice work! I wonder what tools you are using? Both to ancor the plate and engraving it. I would be very happy for an ansver. BR Sten

inpresionante

yes where can i buy the engraving tool, pen?

Hi, very nice work that you are doing. Can I ask you want is the white thing you put on the surface so that you could draw on it? Possibly a link of where i can buy it online? Thanks so much yeah.

As everyone else asked, equipment please? Thanks and nice work

Sounds like a petrol motor on that? Also a new way to engrave i suppose. Id like to know if that was a craft knife with a point in it that you used to draw the graphics? Thanks and good job

You can also use shoe paint. It doesn´t stick to metal.

Do you mind sharing what equipment you're using? The Lindsay hand piece is pricey but seems like it's worth the cost - not really sure what else needs to go with it. Thanks for sharing!

Mike, what kind of graver machine you use?

Sorry for my English, how much cost this machine for graver wark?

Do you mind sharing what equipment you are using?

Hello sir what kind of engraver do you use?

Armis wants one!!

Amazing, I am guessing that one mistake ruins the work?

I have the same question. Thanks

What tool is that

Mister you have a wery steady hand..........(For an old man)

Do you think? That it would be possible to make one of those guns out of a tattoo gun???

Where can I find Chinese White? Please let me know. Evelyn

I learned today that Chinese White is a white water color paint. Perhaps Chinese White has special properties making it particularly good for engraving, but could any white water color paint be used?

Hola what kind of engraver you using?

it's an airgraver, very expensive bit of kit, google it. huge choice of options, you deffo do NOT want one if you are just starting out. they are pneumatic, compressor etc etc. way to go getting the D's the same size :)

Interesting you can draw left hand, but cut right hand!

the engraving station thing, where can I get one?

Your cat is in heat!

Can't find chinese white. What can i use instead? Can i use akrylic paint?

I could draw a face you would think was a photograph but can't write cursive to save my life lol

No... Seriously. That's Bad Ass.

The center line (in pencil) from the eye at the top was not centered. I know it didn't make a difference but my OCD had to say something

What is the alloy? You say, it`s a sterling silver. But, as far as i undestand, sterling means 92% Ag and 8% Cu or about so. But this alloy does not looks that great as the metal in your video. What is it?

No end result.

मुझे Dy चाहिए

for 7:47 making farting noise with his mouth

Chinese White what...?

Your uploading copyrighted videos from other engravers, you should stop

Yeaj. I can't tell you how many times I've buried ONE coin. .so fake

I do wish you Americans would stop calling this machine assisted cutting 'hand engraving' - it isnt
