    Hello. Another useful resource are the sets of videos made by master
    engraver Heinar Tamme. In them he shows how to learn the art of fine
    hand engraving starting with the basics - which include graver
    fitting and preparation - and continuing into advanced topics,
    methods and exercises. Although Heinar lived and worked in the US
    from 1946 on, he learned his profession in Europe as an apprentice
    in Finland and Sweden. After fifty years of working as a professional
    engraver, he decided to produce a series of instructional videos to
    teach aspiring engravers the necessary skills as they were taught to
    him complete with practice exercises and "tricks of the trade". 

    Video clips from both the Beginners Set and the Advanced Series sets
    are available at: EngravingMasterSeries.com 

    There is also a biography of Mr. Tamme there as well. 

    Disclaimer: I DO sell these video tapes. I discovered them after I
    had tried to teach myself hand engraving by using books. When I
    learned of the videos I bought a set and found that I progressed more
    within the first 30 days of using them than I had during the one year
    plus that I been trying to learn engraving by reading "how to" books.
    Because the videos worked so well for me and because Mr. Tamme was
    not actively selling them anymore, I bought the video rights from him
    and set up a website where people can read about them, watch sample
    clips of Mr. Tammes instruction and purchase them if they wish. 

All the best to everyone,
