@@adnaancassiem2856 haha. It's one hard thing to push the graver into the metal without any other tool. I have tried it with a chisel and hammer but it would take a while to master
@@azeezjewellery that's the reason why I told practice untill your fingers bleed. Whiles pushing the graver into the metal, you will slip from time tp time. Slip again and slip again and slip untill you slip into your fingers. Untill it bleeds. Then you will learn engraving.
I'm so curious right now. I wanted to try carving like you did, so I bought an air carving machine and tried carving, but it didn't work like you did on steel nails. I tried it on coins, but the coins don't turn into pieces either. No matter how hard you apply your hand, it won't break into pieces. For your information, there is no problem with the engraver. So I want to ask you. Is it a material problem? Or am I applying the wrong force? I tried following your instructions, but it doesn't work. Is there another reason?
Is this stainless steel? if so what hardness and what are you cutting it with? ive got a handfull of 304 stainless steel blank pendants and i cant cut anything but very shallow marks.
Obviously you're an expert now, but when you first started how long did it take you to get to the point where you could consistently create these without making any mistakes?
A general comment which ( in part ) offering some light on the question. Videos such as this one, in majority are aimed at advertising engravers' already marketable skill and their results. Many inexhaustable numbers of videos will show how to practice to reach anywhere near adequate skill level to produce work seen here. Many engravers can and do achieve this level of skill within several years. Others will take many more years for to reach this level. Clearly, ones who are more adept to learning faster, can reach this level quicker. Desire to get there is with the learner.
Well on the first day, doubt will be that you would be adequately confident to tackle this. Extensive practice would determine skill to cut as well as in this example--whether air or push engraving--. It does put fingers in the firing line, granted. gd luck anyway.
I am a beginner and very enthusiastic in metal carving. I have an air graver but my equipment is far from complete. can i reach your level? I'm just self-taught and watch a lot on RU-vid
