Welcome Isaac

I am a beginner at engraving even though I have been at It for 35 years.

I have made my own tool my self.

We use 3/32 square material to fit air driven impact tools.

If you know basic working It Is very easy to make your own tools using the same punch making skills some of us learned in high school metal shop.

I would start with .250 round tool steel

At the opening page of this forum (Enter Page) click on Hand Engraving Tips.

There is a wealth of information about tools and sharpening that you can use.

I will give you some sharpening tips later
