Hand Engraving My YouTube Handle in Times New Roman Font
In this instructional video, the creator demonstrates how to hand‑engrave a YouTube handle rendered in the Times New Roman typeface onto a metal surface. The walkthrough is divided into three stages. First, a range of specialized gravers—high‑speed steel flat gravers, carbide onglet, wedge, cobra, and a custom flat gravber made from an old round burr—are introduced, with explanations of which tools are suited for straight versus curved lines and how each is modified. The second stage covers preparation of the engraved surface: polishing each graver, using sandpaper to remove rough edges, and texturing the metal so that enamel paint adheres better. The final stage details the finishing process, including stirring matte‑black enamel paint to a uniform consistency, applying it for a smooth coat, and allowing it to dry. Throughout, the speakers reference additional videos on graver shaping and sharpening, and the video ends with a standard call‑to‑action to like and subscribe.
