Default Hello

Thanks. I am not an engraver, just use some of the tools at the bench, as a working jeweler stone setter. I followed a link from a thread in Orchid to this site, because the art of using engraving tools interests me.

I am interested in finding training, to increase my skills with my tools, layout, etc, although do not intend to become a "hand engraver" per se.

Hi ringdoctor,

Welcome to this forum.
I am a jeweler and diamond setter as well.
Beware of buying a Lindsay Airgraver
I never wanted to engrave but wanted the airgraver to set stones.
Now I feel I can engrave and would almost rather engrave then set stones
This is so much fun and so easy to use aspecially with your abilitys as a setter.
Check out my album and see what I learned to engrave in just over a year.
I have had the PC for two and a half by now but for the last year and a bit things have changed and I don't have a lot of free time anymore to do what i would like to do (engrave).

Best of luck and hope to see some of your work!
Daniel.
