Hello Everyone,

    I have been traveling and am a few days behind in reading the Orchid
    posts. In response however to the recent discussion about engraving,
    there is a newly re-mastered and released set of DVDs which provides
    comprehensive instruction in hand engraving. 

    http://www.EngravingMasterSeries.com

    Authored and produced by Master Engraver Heinar Tamme, the 14 DVDs
    draw upon his formal european training and Mr. Tammes 50+ years
    experience, to provide more than 25 hours of "over the shoulder" ,
    "learn at your own pace" instruction for all engraving levels,
    beginners through advanced. Topics range from the three disc
    Beginners set:  tool identification, creation, sharpening, selection,
    uses and practice exercises to single disc advanced topics: 
    monograms, engraving jewelery items of all types, ornamental relief
    engraving, ring carving, fine print making and many, many others.  A
    "Masters Master" Mr. Tamme's  commissions have included engravings
    for Presidents Gerald Ford and John F. Kennedy, Apollo Astronaut 
    Buzz Aldren, Pope John Paul II,  Queen Elizabeth and entertainers
    Anthony Quinn and Sammy Davis Jr. to name just a few. He also
    engraved the 80 pound silver Orange Bowl trophy for 18 years. 

    As a jeweler interested in adding engraving skills to my abilities,
    I had been trying to learn hand engraving from books such as James
    Meeks' The Art of Engraving. I found out about Mr. Tamme's videos
    from the Orchid Archives and ordered a set. Within two weeks I had
    progressed further than I had during the past 12 months. Because Mr.
    Tamme had quit actively selling the videos when he retired, I spoke
    with him several months later about making the information widely
    available once again. I just could not see this wealth of knowledge
    continuing to sit unused in a box on his storeroom shelf! At 82
    years old Mr. Tamme had no interest in doing so himself and
    suggested instead that I purchase the rights from him and publish
    them myself. Which I have done, transferring the original VHS format
    to DVD  and adding navigational bookmarks.
