Chasing hammer???

<< < (2/3) > >>

LRB:
Steel and brass, yes. Acually I find steel sometimes cuts easier than brass.

Riley/MN:
Very nice LRB

LRB:
Here are my most often used, and about all my engraving tools. Some are homemade, but I buy my graver blades. I used to make them, but gravers are cheap enough to just buy and save time and trouble. The key is learning to sharpen them properly, and have the right angles established for the job at hand.

Captchee:
nice work LBR .
the chasing hammer wieght is for feels best for you . not necisserly for  diffrent metals . the hammer doesnt drive the  graver through the metal .  it only is tapped lightly and thus the graver makes the cuts . a good sharp graver will  simply slide right through .a dull one and a sledge hammer won t budge it .

 i would agree that brass can be  hard to do  depending on the make up .. when i do my practice plates  on brass , i normaly anyel it first



 i dont remeber who sent me this photo but its a good exsample of  the cut going across diffrent materials

Minnesota Mike:
Uffda!

Now that is some nice work.
