It makes me worry that you'll tend to increasingly delicate projects that, while beautiful, also consume a massive amount of time. This is why the finest jewelry makers like Faberge delegated a lot to their apprentices. Also, I suggest you send projects like the Antikythera mechanism to a museum, so it can help more people better understand the original. I shudder to think of it at someone's house and getting knocked over by a little kid who accidentally bumps a table. I've seen it happen to antiques.

2019-10-07 08:04:51 +0000 UTCOff Topic: Since you released the card press video - which I've watched quite a few times now - I scroll through the comments again and again. Nothing but praise. I wonder what it feels like to get 4000+ comments on how great you are (I agree BTW). It feels good, surely. But I guess with so much admiration it's more then just "Hey look they like it".

2019-10-07 06:37:13 +0000 UTCHi Bill, the 3 minutes or so in the video were shot over roughly a month, so I think what you're probably seeing is me slowly improving over the weeks after those first cuts! Depending on the nature of the error, there is often opportunity to tidy things up and correct a curve by taking away some more metal as part of the background removal, but of course there is an inevitable limit at which point the design would be compromised. I will do a TGT on this as soon as I can - Cheers :)

2019-10-05 23:20:07 +0000 UTCThis stuff fascinates me, because I've never been able to draw a straight line with a pencil, let alone anything like this. I'm curious; I noticed a couple of minor deviations when you were first scratching the shapes onto the plate, but after you engraved it, they were gone. Is the engraver easier to keep on a smooth trajectory because it's cutting deeper and has some mass behind it, or is it a matter of more concentration, or something else?

2019-10-05 15:08:32 +0000 UTCThanks Phil - That is a commercial table from GRS: https://www.grs.com/product/003-740-satellite-turntable-package/ - Cheers :)

2019-10-03 10:57:58 +0000 UTCHi Chris, another excellent video - did you make the turnatble that you used to do the engraving?

David Paterson
2019-10-03 02:32:05 +0000 UTCI use the GRS tools (Gravermach AT, Monarch handpiece), same operating principle, very pleased with how they perform together - Cheers :)
Clickspring
2019-10-02 21:47:48 +0000 UTCYes a big fan of Ford, he has the deepest understanding of craft, most impressive.
Clickspring
2019-10-02 21:45:08 +0000 UTCThe card press idea has been on the to-do list for a few years, and have been working towards a plating setup for a few months, this project was the perfect one to get it all sorted - Cheers :)
Clickspring
2019-10-02 21:43:41 +0000 UTCWhat brand/model engraver are you using? I'm saving up for a Lindsay unit. It doesn't use a foot peddle or special controller in a box, just hook up a regulated air supply and the control is in the handle. the harder you push the faster it hammers.

2019-10-02 21:26:38 +0000 UTCWhat made you think of doing a card press? And when did this gold plating laboratory happen?
Gabe
2019-10-02 21:22:32 +0000 UTCSecond! Also, how do you control the depth of the cut? When you clear out the insides of the suit symbols, it seems like you do a pretty good job of keeping the depth constant. How?
Gabe
2019-10-02 21:22:01 +0000 UTCChris, what medium did you use for the Suit colour infills?
Matt Jackson
2019-10-02 21:19:12 +0000 UTCAwesome Chris, and thanks again. I still would have paid for the missing months of videos.....
Chris Muncy
2019-10-02 21:10:27 +0000 UTCYes certainly Chris, I will do it as a TGT
Clickspring
2019-10-02 21:08:16 +0000 UTCChris, will you be doing a video or a series on electroplating?
Chris Muncy
2019-10-02 21:05:37 +0000 UTCCertainly mate, will do :)
Clickspring
2019-10-02 21:03:01 +0000 UTCYes still in the same shop, with the engraver in a spare bedroom - Cheers :)

2019-10-02 21:01:40 +0000 UTCChris, on your next Tools, Tools, Tools video could you discuss your engraving setup? Or did I miss it?
Samuel Irons
2019-10-02 21:01:12 +0000 UTCWell Chris that explains one of many of the operations . Are you still in your original shop ?? Ralph
Ralph McCoy
2019-10-02 21:00:29 +0000 UTCHe is using a pneumatic engraving tool
Samuel Irons
2019-10-02 21:00:28 +0000 UTCWhat is that tool you are using? Is it come kind of carbon steel? It's incredibly sharp. What is the buzzing sound, is it vibrating?
