Still Images of Hand Engraving using the Air Chasing Graver


The images below were taken through a microscope with a video camera during the hand engraving shading process using an Air Chasing Graver.   The images are select frames from the videos.  The first set of images is of a very small die being engraved in banknote style of engraving to show the fineness of the Air Chasing Graver.  This die was later used in a 150 ton press to reproduce itself for insets in the butt of the Air Chasing Graver. The next set of images is of intertwined initials being bright cut engraved on a cylinder to depict power and control of the tool during deeper hand engraving.

Please be patient while the images load....
