Tim is a great instructor - comfortable pace - thorough. Thanks

[@mariusmellebye]

Great video and explanation! I have a few of these templates and I could not live without them! Thanks a lot!

[@johnbhayden5556]

I enjoyed watching this, now I need to know how to sharpen the one graver that has a round point thanks so much Ive learned alot.

[@KennyFishbone]

Great tutorial. Thanks

[@jbexpress1]

Just got my sharpening kit in from Steve Lindsey! Just did my first one! Man this thing is SHARP! Easy to use kit!

[@mrthe]

Tim great video Thank you very much!

[@lallope]

I was also taught how to sharpen without any sharpener. this sounds like a great tool to have.

[@uhclem]

Not to mention the incredible skills one must have to do good work.

[@lallope]

excellent. I engraved at tiffany and company, the graver tool sharpener we use is very old school. this was definitely interesting and a well thought out design finally for the point tool graver. I had never seen anything like this and i started engraving in 1975

[@sw8398]

I use these for hand push, the heel though ive found, if you angle it and make kind of a wedge on the heels, its much better, the parallel heel seems to make hand push harder...and i can go around corners with my wedge heel

[@areyoutubed]

I wonder if you have any adapter to use the grs double angle fixture with your extension collets. I love the templates, very easy to use. Just sometimes I need to regulate the angles for some "Bespoke tools" and it would be great to quickly change your collets on it. Actually having a Lindsay double angle would be great too

[@MacherlaPrabhakar]

Thank you

[@joeynuggetz]

Which one should I order if I want to hand push?

[@trekranger]

can you show how you set up your lindsay engraver machine. Thanks

[@micropro3002]

Thanks

[@anti-popfpv4638]

Pretty straight forward. Why haven't I seen these on the market or is it from your store?

[@elielalves9349]

Olá amigo a onde eu posso comprar essa peça e a pedra pra afiar as feramentas

[@mohammedalkhateeb7075]

Hi . if you please can you tell me what tools are using? can you send me details about all everything tools. thanks

[@Fuyuko83]

If I watch this enough times, I might actually have a chance in hell to figure it out! Thanks so much for this vid :)

[@DUENDEMELOMANO]

Hola que altura tienen las plantillas?

[@user-yg8nx8nx2p]

Dónde puedo conseguir el afilador y cuánto vale si lo envian

[@snhoOk]

sorry last comment was incorrect. but a full set for engraving including the ingraver the diamond sharpener compressor and everything you need will cost you around 3000 dollar. Expensive yes! but these tools keep there value!! try to find an airgraver for sale nobody sells them and if they do, there prices are near the new price... i dont own one of these sets yet. i do a goldsmith education and later will pick on the engraving. look on the lindsay airgraver website pretty neat stuff!

[@jbexpress1]

question, what if you mess up? how do u go about starting over? Thanks

[@tylermann6802]

Im also curious about that

[@rudidiesvelt2620]

Very interesting video, I am however concerned that the height od the stones is not mentioned. I have the GRS Power Hone with 250,-600,-1000 & diamond disks but theyare obviously to high to get the angle required for gravers. Could you advise me what thickness I might use to get the angles correct, if you please. RD

[@plaarb]

Rudi - stone height for the Lindsay system is 1/2".

[@mbootgae1497]

@@plaarb please help me , i always make mistakes in the tinny hell part. My question is how high is the whetstone for sharpening on the Tinny Hell? thank you

[@plaarb]

@@mbootgae1497 If you are using the Lindsay system, every operation is completed using whetstones (or diamond sharpening stones) that are 1/2 inch high. That includes making the heel on the graver. A couple of swipes are usually all that's needed to make the heel.

[@dboles-ok3so]

Can I use this system for air assist as well as hand push, I am new to this, I have been carving for years on wood, but would like to learn more about graving metal. yes the cost is very expensive, but it looks like if we follow the steps we will have an easier time with he learning curve, this man has a wonderful way of teaching, I am very thankful for these tips on the subject and will subscribe. thank you for taking time to show us the way to use the tooling. finding good info is very hard to do, I have been reading anything I can find, seems ether people are master gravers and to busy, or are trying to figure out how to balance cost with needs to learn and grow like the rest of us.

[@bfflorida2311]

Awesome video 👍👍👍How thick is (height) of the diamond stone in the video? 1/2 inch?

[@brandysigmon9066]

BF Florida yes

[@mbootgae1497]

@@brandysigmon9066 for sharpening in the first and second place does the height of the whetstone stay the same or different, if different how high is it?

[@mylgphoneelgee162]

Hey could i ask what the dimensions of the actual templates are( height, width, thicknesses, angle's etc..)? I m trying to make my own at home rather than paying for a piece of plastic.

[@irenelafortune4438]

good video, thanks - I notice that You Tube category is 'pets & Animals' - (!) don't know if that ,makes it harder for folks to find your video, so thought I would let you know, just in case.

[@tmdunning]

i bought the knife , flat template and i cant fit my graver into the slut for graver because its to small. so i cant use it for my gravers

[@snhoOk]

@MaTchBoOkPoEt a cheaper system will cost you a total of 1000 bucks, yet working with expensive tools makes the job done allot nicer faster and easier!

[@uhclem]

I already know the meaning. Why do you have private messages blocked?

[@snhoOk]

@MaTchBoOkPoEt 1600 dollar for the total package I think

[@jaf506]

Steve seems like a nice guy, and I don't mind him making a living, but I kind of think his jewelry background is having him use the standard 300% markup common for that market. The tools are nice enough, but _way_ overpriced for what you get, IMHO, but he has buyers who'll pay that much, so more power to him. There are other, cheaper ways to go that will get you the same results.

[@thehomefront1905]

Andu engraving equipment is very good for the money, he is very honest and doesn't take the piss with his prices

[@sivarajikonda2351]

I want real Oli stone

[@thehomefront1905]

Andu does a set of them templates very cheap

[@gedasgold1986]

I have been in jewelry for 43 years. But with whom you will not talk, Lindsay is unnecessary to anyone, all GRS are more loved. Lindsay is very expensive

[@1crafter2another]

Does heel length have any effect on cutting ability?
