wow excellent video, i used to make inlay buckles, 2 plates one cut with jewler saw, soder together inlay stone buff real good. nickel silver . the engraving was always done by someone else. but no electric tools completely by hand. love to get back into that. that buckle was beautiful, thanks for the video
@@peterlunn8840 oh sorry, I just assumed you hadn't done hand engraving before (a lot of people haven't). Well then why so mean? Yea using a pneumatic helps with the force needed but it still takes a degree of skill, unlike machines. Granted doing push engraving does require the added skill of knowing the correct strength and pressure to use, but a pneumatic won't automatically just cut nice patterns in the same way a computer drawing tablet doesn't automatically draw art. Personally I prefer old school handpush engraving, but both take a degree of skill that's under appreciated
I get pneumatic for guns etc - steel is just hard work, but for precious metals? I trained with a guy called George Lukes - we did a lot of pictorial stuff on silverand 18ct for the middle east mostly commemorative stuff, pictures of buildings, forts, mosques and portraits - all with simple gravers
*The buckle is great! You have the highest level of craftsmanship and tooling! ;-)*

Great skill!! I’ve been wanting to start my own little thing at home. Do you have recommendations for brands of engraving tools?

Wow.amazing

Can I send you a buckle to have you do the scroll work?
if you use a machine to engrave - its not 'hand engraving' - its machine engraving
