Many Guild members started out with a book The Art of Engraving by James B. Meek. It is available through Brownells. FEGA presents free seminars every year at the exhibition; these are available for purchase as DVD's also. Just attending the annual exhibition will give you a wealth of knowledge. Being able to see world class engraving and engravers is worth the trip. You are able to interact with these people and ask questions about the areas that you want to improve.

A.) My beginners course assumes students have no experience whatsoever. Everything is clearly explained and demonstrated for you via a microscope camera output to large screen monitors. You'll clearly see every detail of every cut I make, and you'll have your own fully equipped workbench which is yours for the week. All that's required is that you show up on Monday morning and to be prepared for five days of fun! See similar questions...

A.) In the class we work with copyright-free patterns from pattern books. I teach you how to transfer the patterns to your practice plates so you can start engraving nice designs the first day.

Laser engraving uses light to burn an image into the substrate. It gives your logo a clean and polished appearance. It is available on many metal items and works best when the item's surface is a different color than the substrate. Laser Oxidation is available when the surface and the substrate are the same color.

The engraving depth is controlled by the number of passes the laser beam makes over a part, we have engraved mould tools up to 5 mm in depth with a very fine spot 0.02 of a mm. This allows for a very high quality engraving but it takes a long time and so the cost can be relatively high (for laser engraving) but still cheap compared to many other methods.

Well..."almost" anything! We can engrave photos on wood, stainless steel, aluminum, dark marbles and granites and many other fine grained materials. While we have the ability to engrave photos on glass and other clear items, we don't recommend this for very many photos. Glass only shows one shade...it's either cut, or not cut...similar to line art that is either black...or white...no shades of gray. So most photos don't look very good etched into glass or clear objects. See similar questions...

this time, we offer permanent black marking on stainless steel, many types of aluminum and and some other non-silver metals. We can also etch most metals using our sand carving techniques. For more information, CONTACT US See similar questions...

Sure! Send us an e-mail at the same time you send us the order and indicate which engraving is front and which is back. There will be an additional $18 charge. (Multiple units done the same are treated differently: call us.) See similar questions...

Yes! Engraved photos turn gift items into heirlooms! We have software technology that allows us to scan your color or black and white photos and engrave the picture onto gift boxes, marble coasters, marble plaques, or Alderwood wall portraits.

Yes, many of the rings available on this web site can be engraved. Letters, numbers and punctuation symbols can be engraved. If a ring can be engraved, you will see an engraving option on the product page for that ring. When you enter the characters (letters, numbers and punctuation symbols) in the engraving box on the product page, the price for your engraving will appear. You should ensure that you have your finger size accurately measured by a local jeweler before having the ring engraved. See similar questions...
