Re: flat gravers
Wellll, I don't have it figured out. The Video was great for finishing off the graver but there are a few steps missing. Or, better said, I think the graver in the video had been shaped ahead of time and that's where I'm hitting a wall. Sides with small template, no problem. Once that is done and I inspect the graver tip head on and it is narrower at the top than the bottom, like the template. The finished gravers are wider at the top than then at the bottom, not like the template. The top and bottom are untouched at this point. So is the top the top even though it is narrower than the bottom? Finally, when does the graver get the 45ish degree angle from the side view? It won't happen with the top of the small template.
