I first started engraving some years ago when my mum gave me a starter engraving kit from Woolworths. However, I didn't really start engraving until 2 years ago. I then upgraded to an engraver with speed control. After this I upgraded to a dremel 4000 with a flexi shaft. This had to much vibration, after talking to Leslie Pike she recommended a Micromotor. I then bought a marathon n8 Micromotor and a dremel micro for cordless work. I have started using different tips for different shading effects and adding water for smoothing. I have also recently bought a magnifying headset. I am reading books on drawing and engraving techniques but have much to learn. I now have moved to a pneumatic 70k engraver, I miss the quick release of the micromotor and the compressor is noisier but much smoother.

Now using 48db compressor and 70k dental drill. Ryobi 30k battery engraver and dremel 8050 for shows. Culiau usb portable engraver 45k Nail Art drill
