engraving info

[reiko1078]

I have a bit of an interest in doing some engraving. Does anyone have any links to maybe an engraving forum or maybe an online tutorial?I know its one of those things that takes a lifetime to master but I think it would be cool to mess around with maybe be able to write my name or do my own makers mark
Thanks

How about

Run by the company that sells engraving tools, but there is quite a lot of info for the beginner.

I saw an engraving instructional dvd for sale on one of the supply websites.. knifekits or texas knifemakersupply i think, but it might be another one. It's out there though.

A really cheap way is just to do it with nail polish and a battery. http://www.instructables.com/id/Etching-Knife-Blades/
