Default Re: Mike Dubber "Speitzer" Graver Point Template set

I saw Mike's work-in-progress prototype template at his shop almost 2 years ago, and of course I had to go home and make modifications to one of my template sets to approximate what he was doing with his. Now I can get the real thing.

I have made a number of gravers with my modified template and found them to be very useful.

I also made some very tiny gravers by soldering dental burrs into square brass tubing purchased at a hobby shop that Mike drove me to. Thanks to John Barraclough for that idea. I have used them, along with my Coggan points, for bulino, either with a heel or without a heel, as the material required.

The generous sharing of information among engravers today, especially by masters like Mike and Phil and Steve, is driving an explosion of recognition of the art worldwide.
