Glad to help

Also…. I’m sorry about any gaming videos you may see on my KZbin. This is actually my sons account

Those black marks usually happen when there are areas on the burr where there is no diamond so the metal shank rubs against the glass and leaves the mark. In any set of Amazon burrs you are likely to have a few that do this. Hopefully some of them will work for you though. You are not doing anything wrong. I am not sure where you are based. Here in the UK I could recommend you go to Eternal Tools or B&H Supplies to get get some better quality ones. In other countries I have limited information for you. You could try searching online for "jewellery making tools and equipment ". That often brings up the better quality suppliers in your area.

Find out if he has any tips on how to beat Odin in FFVII rebirth! Really stuck with that one.

Glad to help

You are welcome.

She is a sweetheart, but can be very strong willed.

Thank you. I hope you find it useful.

Thank you. I really appreciate your kind comment

I have a very simple homemade system. The one shown in the video uses a siphon to draw up the water, but it could just as easily be made as a gravity fed system by fitting the pipe (with a water tight fitting) at the bottom of the reservoir. Not hard to make. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l52moKR8pq2YjMk

Glad you liked it.

Pet portraits are my favourite things to do.

Think of it like a black and white photo and use different tones to suggest different colours.

Yes, air tools have a very impressive spin speed. Some burrs would struggle to cope with that, particularly some polishing rubbers. I understand they can be very effective though.

@@whatktmadenext I bought the entire system and I love it it’s smooth no tugging or pulling it’s like righting with a good ball point pen on any surface

Hope you are saying you liked the video!

Thank you.

I use Armour Etch. Available from craft shops or lots of on-line sources. Eg www.amazon.co.uk/Armour-Etch-Grams-Exclusive-Version/dp/B0BX6Z6X31/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3PWG6771HMN1C&keywords=armour+etch&qid=1706358233&sprefix=Armour%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-2

Very good suggestion

Yes, it can work very well.

Thank you. I make the videos hoping I can help. As long as that's still true I will keep going.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

You are very welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you. I am so pleased if I have helped.

I haven't stopped, just got a lot on just now. Black animals are quite difficult. The only real option is to focus on the highlights and make them look really shiny. I'll see if I can do a video to explain what I mean.

From one Templeton to another, thank you very much.

For years I used a Dremel 3000 with a flexishaft. I found it good and reliable although you do have to make sure you check and change the brushes every so often. I moved to a Dremel pendant motor a year or two ago, the Fortiflex. It has quite a bit more power but the hand piece is a little more awkward.

Glad to help. Good luck with your cologne bottle

Thank you. I hope you find it useful.

You can join our (very small) Facebook group if you like and share your photos there. facebook.com/groups/472767204854879/?ref=share

Glad if I can help.

Yes, just the same as drawing. I usually pick an imaginary point that the light is shining from and add shade to the opposite parts of the engraving.

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Yes, I often use the dental polishing burrs to do the same job as white Arkansas stones. The only difficulty can be that the ones I normally see have a 1.8mm shank. Fine if you have a suitable chuck though.

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. The speed you use depends on what you are trying to do. If you are trying to engrave deeply and remove a lot of glass, then a higher speed is good. If you are gently removing ridges or engraving a shallow area, use a lower speed. Only practice will show you the correct speed to use.

Thank you.

Glad to help.

I hope you will be able to apply this to your own engraving.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

It should be safe to pour down a drain. The quantity of sludge is small compared to the volume of water and it is very fine, so easily washed away. If you are very anxious about it, you could strain the waste water through a double layer of kitchen towel to catch most of the glass powder.

Thank you for watching

Hi. I don't have any recommendations I can give you, except to search on-line for "jewellery making tools and equipment ". I know Eternal Tools ships to outside the UK but I hear they can be expensive. I plan to do a video soon showing the difference between cheap and expensive burrs. As part of that I will ask people to comment about where they buy equipment, so perhaps I can build up a list for people to refer to. I am going to be in Germany next week, so I will do a bit of searching if I get a chance.

Thank you. I should be back to more regular video making now.

So glad you are enjoying the videos.

Hi, yes you would get the same effect of a rounded channel in the glass. I suppose it just depends which method you find easier. You can certainly make intaglio engraving on mirrors, so long as the glass is thick enough. I have a video which shows the different effects of engraving on the front and the back. Just remember, if the mirror is thick enough to allow intaglio work the reflected image of the engraving will be more pronounced.

Thank you so much. Glad if I can help.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
