Which burs to use?

While there is no right answer to this as every engraver will develop their own preferences here's what I found to be a useful start up kit. These are explained a little on the Hints and Tips page on this blog.

Cake Toppers


These lovely little cake toppers/decorations make a modern alternative to writing with icing on a cake, and make a great little momento of that special day. 

Drill engraved and crafted from 3mm clear acrylic with frosted edges.

Thoughts of Christchuch

This banquet goblet was engraved while thinking of the canterbury region after the 22.02.11 earthquake. The rose signifies the outpouring of love from all of New Zealand (and around the world), the jasmine to signify the passion of Christchurch locals for their city, the doves are a wish for peace and the forget-me-not's on the foot of the glass are for rememberance of those lost that day.

All of the engraving on this glass has been completed using a hand-held drill.
