Must Have Tools for Beginners Learning Hand Engraving

[@jrherman3rd]

I visited this Chappell in October 2024. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

[@roparzhlapprenti]

Really great video. I'm just starting to consider engraving (as a metal worker, i'd love to propose this kind of work/finitions), but i had a lot of questions about it. You answered almost all of them. Big thanks for your work.

[@HuiyiTan]

I'm glad it's helpful! For hand engraving, you might be interested in this one as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpWcg4amZrafodk

For sandpaper I prefer the 600 grit polishing paper that has the felt back. It's not as aggressive as 600 grit aluminum oxide grit to remove burrs. And if I want to polish from there I go higher in grit to the thousands. The 600 is the grey colored one. And the ceramic files are really nice to fix any slips that a burnisher can't fix.

[@beautgrainger147]

The graverhone looks appealing for watchmaking gravers too

[@makenchips]

If using any sand paper most likely in this application aluminum oxide or Automotive grade if you buy in sheet form on the back carefully later shipping tape on the back then cut your squares out or strips. Another method would be to Too Faced tape or contact glue the Sandpaper to tongue depressor or popsicle sticks is your firm surface to work with when done I always use a poly eraser to clean the surface I never use any fluids on my sand papers your sandpaper will last for a very long time also never press hard on your sandpaper let it do its job

[@rcmoot]

I still chase and hammer. Like your video. Have you made a video , on transfering your design to metal?

[@HuiyiTan]

this one is coming up soon, stay tuned.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you for sharing. This is good information

[@HuiyiTan]

Glad it was helpful!

@@HuiyiTan the baby oil got me. I haven’t been using any lubricant, whoops. Something that simple will likely help a million. The shots of you practicing your engraving were excellent.

[@K12Reversal]

Very nice and useful video,

[@Michael-dv3ij]

Is there a difference between pneumatic engraving machine using rotary to engrave? Would I need to buy a rotary if I bought the pneumatic engraving machine?

[@jakibros]

Can you use engravers on stone for example onyx pendant

[@HuiyiTan]

I don't know how it works on stones, because I only engrave on silver, gold and platinum.

[@Gojirafistful]

Learned a few things, the reusing silver trick is so smart. What angle graver are you using in this?Subscribed 👍

[@ButterfliesGoneWildx]

Where are your diamond wheel bits from? I struggle to find ticker ones like yours with good quality. Thanks!

[@JustME-ft4di]

Excellent information. Thank you! Can you use a Micromotor with a hammer hand piece for engraving?

[@richardmyers6092]

I was curious if you have ever brazed a coin onto a metal plate before? I am trying to braze some coins onto 1018 low carbon steel and then cut it into shape? I figured since you are a jeweler, you could point me in the correct direction? Thank you for your time.

[@HuiyiTan]

I am specialised in solid silver, gold and platinum only. I have never brazed anything onto steel myself. Sorry.

[@salenas5249]

Hello, I’ve been engraving for about a year, I mostly use 90degree and round engravers, I have the grs graver Mach at , anyways what gravers do you use for lettering like calligraphy type writing?

[@leadingauctions8440]

Thank you for this video. I want to learn how to hand engrave to make signet rings for myself and my fiancee as wedding rings. Would these tools and your videos work for learning to make signet rings?

[@HuiyiTan]

You will need more than these to make signet rings, etc. If I were going to make only 2 rings, I would sign up for a signet ring making course and use the tools at others’ studio. Because all the tools required are much more than the price of 2 signet rings. It would be a waste of money to get all the tools just for making 2 rings ever.

[@leadingauctions8440]

@@HuiyiTan Thank you so much for taking your time to reply to us. I should have mentioned I intend to make copies of our rings for each of our sons and daughters. And we want six children. If my business grow in success even more. With the six additional rings, what would you suggest? And what tools are needed?

[@juezazteka7413]

where did you get that porcelain scriber at?

[@FB94121]

Thank you so much for this video, it's so confusing getting started and your video helped me a lot. One question about the 2 engravers for beginners. You mentioned to onglette Nr 4. Is there a difference between the one for curved and straight lines? Or can you use the same?

[@HuiyiTan]

They are very different from each other. I have online courses teaching how to make them cut on precious metals like butter. You can find them here if you are interested: huiyitan.com/products/making-onglette-graver-for-engraving-straight-lines

[@mikethompson9013]

Great video, I'm just getting started. You talked briefly about a vise, which one do you recommend?

[@HuiyiTan]

I will send you the link once I have finished making the video about vice. For now, if you want to know, full list of all the tools I used in my videos can be found here: huiyitan.com/collections/miscellaneous

[@HuiyiTan]

I talked about difference vises in this video as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIqXi4qNlslrorM Hopefully it helps as well.

[@abdulraheemalmaghrabi1509]

How different is engraving with an engraving machine like the one you have in vs a flexshaft?

[@HuiyiTan]

Hopefully this video answers your question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX7Oo3eVfsyMhdk

[@skylmt69]

you can Google "Ceramic Scribe" and you'll find a few sellers personally I'd get the GRS one

[@torisnyder1342]

I have a million questions! 😂

[@makenchips]

Baby oil is just white minerial oil with a fragrent added, which you do not need! Why not try camellia oil instead. Your dropper bottle is the same system I use. I use 1 oz dropper bottles. Also, neddle bottles used by nail salons work perfectly. Columbus Michigan

[@natasmedia]

Please repeat the name of the 7th tool? rotating one :)

[@HowRJ]

ball vise......

[@nightingale1488]

10$ for pdf which is just a shopping list is craaazy

[@HuiyiTan]

Due to my budget, I have very limited tools which allow me to do everything I shown in the video. The downloadable PDF file shows the tools I have. It also shows a hyper link where you can get them online. 98% of the tools I have cost much more than 10$. You are free to try all the tools in the shop.

[@nightingale1488]

@@HuiyiTan those tools are already a halfty price. Why make it harder for your audience? You know you can revolutionize this industry by just simply going against the grain? For example contacting diy chanel's and offering them colab to make pneumatic engraver cheeper then 1000$. Your audience will be interesting in buying courses and do art with you. And if they don't want to diy it - you will have blueprints and can make semi-professional engraver that is not so expensive. I'm just confused as to why 10$ for pdf when you have the whole free niche at your mercy to mess with and make tons of money

[@nightingale1488]

And yeah, just a reminder. I didn't mean any disrespect with my comment, it was just not the best idea to sell so little for so much when you can do much more with your reach. I just believe that the audiences respect worth more then any money

[@HuiyiTan]

You can find videos showing how to make different professional gravers with a random $1 tool here: kzbin.info/aero/PL1qXCtd5zu8ZMnMVehsBSFim9Fb0Xkyv3

[@HuiyiTan]

A pneumatic engraver for $200 is available here: amzn.to/4enESwH For less than $300, you can get one here: amzn.to/3O2PAxX If you want to spend $350, here: amzn.to/3NYDAh8 I won't suggest any professional jeweller to use a diy pneumatic engraver. If you are a professional jeweller, I would highly recommend using the ones which are over $1K. Totally worthy it.

[@Ade-q7c]

You cannot be a qualified engraver in 3 month she's talking absolute rubbish

[@HuiyiTan]

You don’t know how doesn’t mean it can’t. Not just me, lots of people around the world have done that.
