Traditional Hand Engraving Is Even Harder Than You Think
"Hand engraving goes back 500+ years, and the main tool of that trade has remained virually unchanged in all that time: a sharpened piece of steel with a wood handle. Marlen Hazel of @hazel.handengraving -- the last traditional hand engraver in San Francisco -- takes Adam Savage on a tour of the tools she uses daily with no pneumatic or electrical assist, creating extraordinary precise art by (steady) hand. You'll have a whole new appreciation for those Met suits of armor!" from the video introduction
