August 11, 201213 yr Yes, more info please. I also TOTALY get the HSS aspect of gravers. Really is a simple thing to understand that the steel needs to not loose its hardness when being sharpened. r smith
August 11, 201213 yr I'm interested ! I've been practicing filework and the engraving can compliment that as well. Thanks for sharing, Dick
August 13, 201213 yr OK guys, I'll get started on a "simple" tutorial.. In the meantime, you can get started by studying this link for the Lindsay sharpening templates: http://www.engravingschool.com/private/Lindsay%20Sharpener.htm There's also a good video on the same page. Tom
August 17, 201213 yr Author Tom, that's awesome ! I'm in! Sorry I have been away for a while but would love it if u would show and tell!
August 19, 201213 yr I finished the tutorial and hosted it over on Bladesmith's Form. It's titled Simple Engraving for Knifemakers, here's the link: http://forums.dfoggknives.com/index.php?showtopic=24166&pid=227557&st=0&#entry227557 Hope it helps! Tom
November 29, 201213 yr Author So I have taken a little break from forging and the idea of making my own gravers BUTT now I'm BACK! ;-) and I was hoping you would share some of your own home made gravers and if ou are feelin up to it maybe a write up on how you made them.
July 17, 20169 yr There are a few tutorial on you tube on how to make a pneumatic graver machine. That's the route I'm going.

Tom That forum being defunct, this tutorial is now being hosted elsewhere; a web search will find it.
September 3, 20187 yr I suspect this is the tutorial that Tom was referring to: https://www.bladesmithsforum.com/index.php?/topic/24166-simple-engraving-for-knifemakers/ It is quite informative.
March 18, 20215 yr Author Thanks for the updated link! And thanks again to Tom for putting this together! We all appreciate it
