Wood Carving

Trying to post some topic starters.



When one thinks of pneumatic tools, things like impact wrenches and mechanical lifts come to mind. But there’s a whole other world of tools out there that use compressed air power. Such is the engraving tool I use. It’s a high speed pneumatic engraving pen, and I love it. It quite frankly is one of the top tools I use.

So how do you smooth out the details? I've tried to do it with bits but it still don't come out as smooth as I want it.

I go in there as best I can with a diamond tip on the engraver and then use some fine sand paper in the places I can get to with it. The polyurethane clear coat smooths it out a lot too.

That looks so cool. That has to take a steady hand. I tried it with a dremel tool but it was hard to hold on to.

Yeah, the smaller engraving tool makes it a lot easier on the details. I still use the dremel tool on the bigger things though.
