Engraving is a favorite way to embellish any personal item such as a knife, gun, or writing pen with a distinctive look and feel that adds a deeply personal flare. Watch as Ray Cover demonstrates his proven methods in an easy to follow manner. He will guide you through the steps necessary to complete some of the most beautiful art-work in the world today. Ray is an accomplished engraver and a trained art teacher who has taught from kindergarten to college level art classes.

In this video Ray discusses design and layout techniques, explains edge geometry and sharpening alternatives, bordering and outlining basics, shading, stippling backgrounds, inlays, and more. Ray uses different models for illustration of the finer details of his work that would be hard to see on camera, such as large wooden chisels that show the angles and geometry much better than the actual gravers due to the miniature size of the tool itself. With clear, simple instructions, Ray will get you started into this wonderful art form.

NOTE: The information presented by Ray in this video is awesome!  However, the close-ups were filmed before we upgraded our equipment and could use a little improvement.  We plan to re-shoot an Engraving video as soon as possible.  Please sign up for our mailing list to be notified.
