This is hand engraving being done by someone that has mastered the art of push engraving and has then taken the art of engraving a large leap forward with a tool that he has designed and developed himself.

As an owner of one of these tools, I could not be more happier with my purchase.

I sometimes feel that the use of these tools is looked down on as substandard. I tend to think that the people that think this, can not afford to buy one.

Any videos of traditional hand engraving??

Lindsay Classic Airgraver w/PalmControl.

(most likely, since Steve is not just the engraver but also the inventor)

Google his name or the airgraver to find out more.

what tool is he using?
