Gerald, would you mind send another:) copy of your graver notes?
Thanks very much, kind regards from The Netherlands, yes yes you have admirers overhere. Please send them to lydiabruinsgoudsmid@gmail.com.
Me too please! Thank you so much, currently contemplating a graver smith but you might be able to teach me otherwise. Elizabeth@eschmetals.com
Many, many thanks for your efforts on this Gerry! Being a jeweler who works by myself I truly appreciate having the thoughts and techniques of an experienced jeweler here on Ganoksin. Your time on this is a gift. Thank you!

Hi Gerry,
Can I also add my mail to the list? Hope itās not too late. Would really like to have the essays. gemstotreasure@gmail.com
Gerry,
I wonder how you manage this charity project besides your other activities (or was it vice versa). Iād love to receive your invaluable giveaways on graver essays and diamond setting if you have a few minutes in spare. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your tips and hints.
Although I trained to use graver in setting, I admit that I am quite rusty in some of the finer points.
Your tip on using the lead #2 pencil on the 1000 grit paper, for a final polish on the graver alone was a useful hint.
I never took polishing the belly on a flat graver past using bit of a well worn 1000 grit, but adding the pencil graphite to an area of that DOES make for an even higher polish!
THANKS!
Hi "Ringdoctor"
That idea makes any graver shine like mirror on the āHubble Telescopeā. What you are doing is basically rubbing gently, embedding & gently forcing the graphite into the pores of the 1,000 grit paper. I use this great & fantastic method on either #600 or even #8oo grit papers. Instead of buying the finer paper, make it your own!!! BTW, I used this basic method some 55 years ago & still use it today!! My teacher taught me this & now you know how to do it, simple isnāt it?..Gerry!
Thanks, Gerry.
We learned to make and shape our own flat and line gravers in the Jewelry Repair and Setting classes at Bowman Tech, but as I recall the polishing steps ended at well work 1000 grip every paper.
I played with your graphite technique yesterday, going that one extra step, after I had completed a graver refinishing as per my training.
Yes, your extra step did improve the end finish.
