sbvenman Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I was just curious what kind of tools are used to make a carving such as that. It is very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billzach Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I was just curious what kind of tools are used to make a carving such as that.

Vfox Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 i use the same tools that knife and gun engravers use, including a microscope.. Have you done any die engraving? I am making crude dies in my metalsmithing classes at school to roll and hammer cob-style coins for a few projects. I'm curious, where do you purchase your engraving tools? I basically just need to engrave brass, nothing like steel really, at least not right now lol. Very well done engraving work btw, MUCH better than my current skill level.....gimme a few years....
