Hi TE,

This is beautiful work you have done here in your ' first steps ' my compliments to you.
I know of quite a few folks who started out with the artisan airgraver.It is as good a tool as you can use it ,if I may say that.

Welcome to The Engraving Forum.

Hi TE,
Nice scrim work there.I also see the little scrim tool you have made from a sewing machine needle to fit the artisan.
It would need lots of practise to use it.I prefer a hand held scrim tool I bought on ebay.
It is - eBay item number:261271019935

The engraving and the knife looks great. I have a suggestion for your photography. I use a piece of felt (light grey or blue, a neutral color. Photograph outside in the shade (if sunny) or a cloudy bright day. I have found that the detail is a lot better and a lot less reflection.Take a few hours and experiment with your digital camera, you may surprise yourself with the results_JR

[TE Knives]

Thanks for the advice JRon!

[TE Knives]

Some pictures of my new project.

[Mcahron]

Looks great. Might I suggest making a new thread for each new project as some people will think this is an old thread and won't see the new work posted.

Engraved scalpel

[surgicalshot]

Another nice one! What gauge or size of wire did you use in the wood box? Is there an inlay in the letters centered in the knife. On my screen I was not able to see if that was a reflection or an inlay.

Kirk

[TE Knives]

Thanks Kirk,
The size of the wire is 0.02 x 0.04 inches.
In the letters is not an inlay. Maybe this is a reflection.

[TE Knives]

completed

[Zahar]

Nice work. Than you cut on wood for the inlay?
