Hand engraving

[jalbert]

I've been taking a break from pens for a few months to focus on developing my engraving and jewelry skills. Here are a few items I made lately. For the most part they are pendants, with the odd keychain thrown in. I'm getting ready to circle back into pens again and apply what I've been working on.

Artistry at its best. My complements. I had a hard time staying in the lines when in the first grade.

That is some really awesome work! What did they start out to be? Such as blank plates, sterling, etc.....

Thanks! Top pendant started as a sheet of titanium, second was fabricated from sterling silver, 3rd was cut from titanium sheet, and the keychain was a pre fabricated stainless steel blank

Pure art! Thanks for sharing.

That is amazing work. About how long does it take to engrave one?

[Aguynamedglitch]

These are lovely! Another skill I'd love to learn, if only there were more hours in a day and more years to a life~

 

[PreacherJon]

Those are gorgeous John. Can't wait to see what you do to a pen.

John, you continue to amaze us with your diverse skills. Looking forward to seeing some of the engraving on your pens: clips, center bands and small medallions for the ends of your pens (not sure of the actual name).
Do a good turn daily!
Don

You have come a LONG LONG way! You just started like what a year ago now? If you ever decide you want to do a gun I have an old Remington model 12 factory engraved barrel that could use an engraved receiver... or even go over the old engraving as it's faded alot in 100 years.

Check with the carrier about how to send a firearm for repair, etc. Disassemble and just send the part(s) that need work.

Thanks! I'm not sure I'll ever get into gun engraving, though. It gives me the willies to think about cutting into something that expensive
