  • Really great! I appreciate this video so much. Being a programmer I'm used to having to butt my head on the wall a great deal but thought I might like the feeling of actual making progress with every move. Hence, I've been looking at the GraverMax but wondered if I was being too hopeful. Also.... I was thinking of buying guns from pawn shops to practice and hopefully upgrading as I passed them back. Is that possible to engrave OLD guns?

  • Thank you very much. Most of the time it isn't a problem to engrave old guns. Although, depending on the gun, it can be hard to get your time and money back out of it. Keep in mind that the metal has to be polished, engraved and then re-finished. Do some research on the guns before you buy them so you don't get stuck with something that you have a ton of time into and can't sell.

  • I was wondering what kind of equipment he was using also... I see the engraver commented on what he was using below:

    "I'm using a GRS Gravermax so I try not to push the grver at all, it's best to let the machine do the work. I also use a small heel, which helps cut down on breakage while doing the tight scrolls."

    Very nice work and educational to be able to watch. I'm interested in the palm control, airgraver by Lindsay.

  • I started out with hammer and chisel and then switched to the Gravermax for most work. I still do some H&C once in a while. Steve Lindsay makes some wonderful tools and is a very talented engraver.

  • Amazing... Just wondering what are you using to draw on the metal?

  • Thank you very much. I mixed up some of my own layout wax. The wax is dabbed on with a finger and allows me to use a pencil to draw the design. I use a drafting pencil with a 4H lead. Modeling clay can also be used instead of the wax.
