    Thank you all!
    Lots of video and good material to watch.

    I can't call myself a machinist, but a good DIYer, I have a little garage with some good old tools and the desire of use them


    list of things to do:
    - learn about drawing, angles and way to keep sharp the blades-
    - build the body of burin, a chasing light hammer
    Need also to find parts for a bowl vise, I saw the one you built, it's wonderful!


    I will study the video about the pneumatic engraver, it seems not impossible to build at first sight.
    Talking about Hss rod, as usual, here it's quite hard to find, normal specialized shop has only basic tools, if you're lucky enough you can find some big square bar for lathe, 100% old unsold. Since it's the first time for me, I decided to buy ready to use gravers this time, but for the future I will try sharpening a rod.

    I am also happy to see your works!

    That's my little garage
