[@MasterEngraverTV]

@JohnBrown has left the building. Trolls are never welcome. Though I do get a chuckle out of their posts. Let the KZbin authorities deal with him.

[@brasky89]

As impressive as that is sadly technology has already started edging this out.

[@immasurvivor]

You know that feeling when you cannot comprehend skill of another human? Like, is this man even the same species as me? Stellar work sir.

[@Dogsoldier22]

You're not even joking. I cant even begin to express how I feel about this. Like it legitimately brought a tear to my eye.

[@BrianLopez-gz8ux]

Doesn’t seem like magic to me but I am inspired to learn

Yaaa i just feel like i could never

[@billrowan1957]

I wonder why ya don't see much DIY "easy way to..." engraving video.... excellent work brother!

[@areziii6798]

I have never actually seen this done and I have to admit that this an art to the truest form. I am pleased to have been able to see this.

[@sandymitchell8182]

I must say that I 'am amazed and somewhat saddened at the same time, I just watched videos on cerakote, acid etching, and now this, I am also thinking of woodworkers, leather workers and anyone that is a craftsman. In this world of everything is fast and easy, Disposable, I' am hoping their will be a new generation that will learn from all these wonderful craftsman, I hope skill and quality such as this does not become extinct. what was once pretty normal has now become a luxury in all trades. When was the last time you bought something with character and quality that made you feel good just looking at it, owning it and knowing you'll pass this down in your family from generation to generation? for me its been too damn long..... I hope all these crafts have someone to pass on down too. God Bless

[@sbagwell98]

Thank you, I started engraving leather, and being a United States Marine, well new tools and a whole new world of engraving. FEGA I will be seeing you in the future. Semper Fi

[@larrylambert5193]

Simply one word for such complex artwork, amazing. This art will never be duplicated with a machine.

[@mjremy2605]

What superb work and artistic talent! Now I know why the price is high. Thanks for giving me a view into this wonderful craft. Most satisfying to watch you work. I also learned that gold comes in coils not just thin sheets. This will help with any jewelry repairs I have to do. Many thanks!

[@northcentralindianawx]

I love custom hand work. Nothing beats true hand work. Laser is nice and cheaper and perfect. But imperfections are what show it was hand made!!! 🥰

[@jdleslie9299]

WOW SIR!!!...I knew engraving was an art form but never looked much into the skill. Master Engraver is a well deserved title for the art you turn out. Truly amazing...thank you for the vid

[@thomasboswell3497]

I just made my first engraver from a old singer sewing machine. Treadle powered.i love it. Thank you for all you do and sharing the master knowledge.

[@danthefrst]

Not only fantastic engravings but also almost too great a production value for such a new channel as this. Thanks for all this. Very nice!

[@johnsonjerrad]

Exactly what I was going to say, so I'll just thumbs up this comment and add; the 1911 is my favorite gun so I'm extra excited to see the finished product.

[@GottliebGoltz]

Ditto.!

[@williamhutchins479]

This is just... Wow. I first thought I was gonna be able to do this, but now I know I am nooo where near capable. Thank you for humbling me early! And I have to say you guys are making a beautiful thing! Thank you God and the Founding Fathers for the second amendment we have today so we can see something like this take place! I'll stick to my plating since I'm no where as capable with this! You sir and the other engravers are gods! Please to anyone who reads this. Do NOT let this DIE out! These people have a passion beyond what most of us can only dream of having! 1000% skills!

[@jgsouth-africa5734]

Thanks for the video... I am a jeweller started engraving this year i am also a gun enthusiasts and would love to engrave on guns one day.... Many engravers do not want to post free tutorials... There is no training in South Africa so thank you very much for the videos you post!

[@dazthemod69]

I just love the creative process. From looking like a disaster to the layman when it’s rough cut, to the masterpiece at the end. Beautiful craftsmanship.

[@neverdieadam7618]

Truly amazing. Guy asked an engraver how much is your work worth "great answer" priceless!

[@leanardflow8194]

Thank for being kind enough to show us your ways of engraving, it helps alot, GOD BLESS YOU.

[@thomasboswell3497]

Layne you are my favorite master engraver!! You are my hero role model whatever you want to call it.i look up to you. Sam is good but I just took a liking to you and your work .you are awesome.

[@savestheday258]

Your shading is beautiful Lane, can't put my finger on it but it's got a different look than most. I'd love to see a video that goes more into shading leafs! It's by far my biggest weakness and is so important visually. Anyone else with me and want a more in depth shading tutorial? Give this a thumbs up! And thanks for sharing your knowledge Lane. You've helped me out a lot over the past couple months

[@MasterEngraverTV]

T Free you should watch the second episode of this series. It touches on shading.

[@savestheday258]

@@MasterEngraverTV Thanks Lane, I did watch that one and it was very helpful. The Ron Smith book helped a ton too. The part I'm struggling with is certain leafs and angles, sometimes I'm not sure where to end the shade lines. How far down the stem of a leaf? I'm slowly figuring it out studying different engravings and though. Thanks for the reply Lane! Love every video you've made so far.

[@MasterEngraverTV]

I always recommend Lee Griffith’s book- Design Fundamentals for Artists and Engravers. I’ll be doing some more videos on some basics as well. After the Engravers Guild Show in Vegas Jan 24-27 I’ll have more time on my hands.

[@benyates6353]

Amazing, generous, thoughtful, patient MASTERY in action. THANK YOU for the beautiful inspiration!

[@axelgs11]

Perfection..Many times I used to watch my close friend Bill Sinclair engrave firearms for me. Bill was one of the top 6 engravers in the world.. I miss him and his work very much. Thanks for bringing that memory back reflected in your skill and perfection 👍👍

[@luismendoza634]

Mad skill. I watched the entire 21-minute video, which is a record for me. Keep up the good work. Glad that Colt gave you the opportunity to lay some skill and turn a run-of-the-mill 1911 into a true masterpiece.

[@valentino2137]

What an amazing skill, I was captivated till the end. Thank for your craftsmanship.

[@zominor]

Magnificent art! It's a pleasure to see how gunsmiths became artists. It's no longer weapons it's a pièce of art. Patience, skills and a great artistic sense make a lot of differences between a gun and a masterpiece

[@elorangeman]

Honestly, I would love a full 8 hour video at regular speed.

[@MasterEngraverTV]

elorangeman I may end up doing something like that. It would still need some editing. Even at 2x speed it can be like watching grass grow. But you are not the first to ask.

[@_JEBUS]

This is very much like tooling which I dabbled into for a bit. Learning about different metals and what metals can penetrate others.

[@kennymcquinkiss8292]

Thank you so much for sharing. That's one of the coolest things I've seen done in a long time

[@Montano76]

Now thats what i call craftsmanship

Who would give this a thumbs down? This is one of the better made engraving videos out there. Great work by the way. I love your style. And please keep the videos up!

I used to have a engraved llama 380 nickel plated pearl grips looked like a mini 1911 I was going to give to my dad but it got stolen I been wanting to get a engraved gun for him but a nice one is expensive and I know I realize it’s a real work of art a thing of beauty much respect for the artist that takes pride in what he does you can tell by the quality of the workmanship 👍🏼I’m probably just have to get 2 with a simple but nice engraved touch 1 for my dad and myself

Sir, your "Master" status truly shows. I'm glad that you started a channel to showcase the work and care that goes into pieces like this. Here from Alec Steele.

How is that even possible!? Sir, that absolutely blew my mind and had me smiling the entire time! Amazing talent and love for the art you have!

I’m glad you are here Sor, please pass your knowledge to a child one day so it may live on

[@jefferywarburton2116]

torch tip cleaning tools can scribe a good line and wound guitar strings an even finer one but thats best for softer metals like coins. a vacuum cleaner belt is good for polishing if you bend it in half and use the edge.
