You make it look so easy. It's like when I do paintless dent repair and people are like "why so expensive, it looks easy". Ya, because I've been doing it for 10 years and if I miss by half a mm I messed up. Here's you tool, have fun.
Sometimes I wanna say "I'll charge you 10 for my labor and 200 to know what to do."

Gotta Bow down to the Master once again, Making it look so effortless just reinforces in me that if I keep at it it will get easier, like everything else in life. Thanks Sam. Great Video as usual.

At first I was fairly impressed...then I saw your thumb nail take up THE ENTIRE SCREEN, and I was VERY impressed.

It's always at 1am that I find these videos and it makes me want to go try making a graver again. Hopefully I will remember in the morning, but if its anything like the last three days I doubt it. But I had no idea that it was possible to push grave with such apparent ease. I really want to experiment with engraving, but the scary price tags on the pneumatic gravers is terrifying. I have a pneumatic engraving tool like for writing your name on something you don't want to lose, but I want something a little more controllable. Before the pandemic I meant to make a bunch of gravers with a blacksmith friend in college, but we never got the chance to get back into the metal lab before I graduated. I think I should be able to make one of these with HSS. If not maybe I can try using 1095 steel like I planned before. Thank you for the knowledge!

20 degree heel is causing you to have to push harder thus, you have to grip the graver differently and apply more force to make a cut. for push engraving on flat stock all you need is a 7-10 degree lift and you wont need to wrap fingers around the bottom of the graver anymore because it will require less force to cut through the metal.
