Gravure simple / simple name-plate

Bonjour!
I made some improvement at my engraving - this is a saddle-name-plate (brass).
Hope you like it.






Regards, Mario.

Dear Mario,

It is great, it a is wondeful.

The design, the curves, the style is realy perfect........thank you for theses pictures.

Can you speak about the way you take to engrave with this perfection.....

Is-it enterely by hand or with '' gravermax '' ?...and I suppose you use a magnifier ?

Have a good day, Mario

Michel Zim


P.S You are near to engrave to have some reals banknotes.....

je m'incline ce travail est parfais,

et je dirai qu'il a été réalisé au GraverMax,

Michel, mon anglais est loin d'être parfais donc si tu pouvais demandé pour moi a Mario avec quoi il obtiens

ce résulta noir une fois la pièce gravé, et éventuellement le lien ou je pourrai me procuré le produit concerné

d'avance merci, et félicitation a Mario

Hello Michel, hello Raphaël!
I am glad you like my scratches. As i am only a novice to this art, my work is far away from perfection. I think it will take me ten years to get better on that. But hey, this is a hobby only

Raphaël, you are right, this was done with an air assistant graver (a "GraverMach") and a hand pushed burin. I used both techniques on that plate. Because my eyes aren't that good anymore, i also work under a microscope (can't see the lines no more).
As you are living in Belgique you certainly know, that you have a few of the worlds finest engravers there. Phillipe Grifnée and Alain Lovenberg - only to name two.

I will go on practicing - have fun.
I wish you a good day!
Mario

Dear Mario,

A hobby only......hummm......you (we ) can say, a very beautiful job.

Raphaël want to know, what kind of material you used to obtains the black color on this engarving ?

Thank you also for the two belgians names about this art, I will make search on internet about these two men.

Have a very good day Mario, I am sure you will make some other beautiful '' scratches ''.....

It is a simple Rust-Oleum flat black paint. He can get it everywhere at hardware stores.
