5.0 out of 5 stars Absurdly low price for such an amazing book
Amazing book, has a wealth of knowledge for the price of a hamburger. This book, while not appearing to be much, has a LOT of useful information not only on engraving but on tempering and shaping your gravers and the assortment of gravers themselves. After reading through it, my opinion of it was that it was a book written by someone who wanted to share the craft rather than make a pretty penny on his knowledge. If you do any metalworking that remotely involves engraving, pick this thing up. Even if all you do is sharpen drill bits, the section on tempering alone is WELL worth it.Past that, it also explains the technique on how to make the lettering, with careful handrawn diagrams and several alphabet tables for reference. It's become invaluable to me, and it's become as essential to my precision toolbox as the tools inside them.
5.0 out of 5 stars Get this one
There are a lot of how to books and DVDs on beginning and advanced engraving. Most are informative and very expensive, but for the basics and beginning techniques get this book before you but anything else and read it. It was not put out by a manufacturer of air driven gravers (which are handy). It is what you would have been taught back in the 60s and 70s. Master the basics and the advanced techniques come easier. That is what this book does, plus it defines terms, techniques and methods. Do what it says in the book and practice them. After that find a basic course at a local college or sign up for one the manufacturers classes. Getting proficient at engraving takes time and this book is the place to start.
4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for the begnner
This brief book offers a friendly entrance to the art of engraving, of decorating metal with delicate and precise carving. It starts with the sharpening - not just creating a cutting edge, but shaping and polishing it into a precision tool. Later sections add tips for handling liners (I've been doing it wrong, not knowing any better) as well as more familiar cutting tools. It also present the basics of shaping, hardening, and tempering your own tools from steel rod, knowledge I already used in making my own chasing tools.A very large part of the book goes over different lettering styles and usages. To tell the truth, lettering doesn't much interest me as decoration. It's a great vehicle for demonstrating different ways of creating strokes, shapes, and textures, though, and suited my interests in that regard. Lacking access to real instruction in engraving, this encourages me to pick up some tools and give it a shot.-- wiredweirdPS: When I was reading this on the subway, the lady sitting next to me looked over my shoulder. An older woman, she saw what I was reading and commented that her father had made his living as an engraver. She seemed pleased that interest in her father's art is not wholly gone.
5.0 out of 5 stars OK as a starter book
Old data but covers the basics. It is focused on monogram engraving and is thus a bit limited in that regard. OK for a started book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very in depth, you can do this if you want to!
Cool book, very informative. You can engrave using this as a guide. Definitely alot more depth than any other book I've read on the subject. Not the modern day video instruction in a book glossy pic step by step most people look for today. If you are artistic and have at least half a brain....this book is better than all that!
3.0 out of 5 stars Engraving Reference
Fast ready reference on engraving. To me the best parts of this book are found in the "how to sharpen graders." Many other useful information contained in this reference book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Traditional guide for people willing to learn. Great reference
Grandfather was a master jeweler and watchmaker. I'm rusty on my engraving but learning how to do silver inlay and engraving as part of my hobbies. This helps and is a good reference to start from... YouTube it everyone loves to say now, but this is more a traditional way without the bs and extra info...
4.0 out of 5 stars An old, but good book on hand engraving
Hand engraving is almost a lost art in these days of PowerGravers, but this book shows you how to do it and gives some useful advice even for power engravers.For one thing, Hardy starts where engraving starts -- with sharpening the graver. This is an art in itself and a metal engraver spends about half his time sharpening or honing. The advice here is mostly applicable to power engraving as well.Then the author leads you through a series of basic exercises and on to more advanced cutting. All good stuff.
