Here is a video demonstrating hand engraving.
It shows wiggle work and bright cutting.

Thank you for posting this! I enjoyed seeing how it was (and still occasionally is) done.

I've always admired engraving, whether it's a monogram, or decorative like in this video.

Great video.....somewhat therapeutic with the background music. The patience and skill level of this artist is amazing. Once upon a time I dabbled in engraved firearms and knives and absolutely loved what I called the "Germanic" scroll style. The firearms engraver, the late Ben Shostle, was one of my favorites. The patterns were generally deeply cut, the antithesis of fine "banknote" engraving.

That was incredibly interesting, thank you so much. It gives me a whole new appreciation for the time, effort and skill that was required to decorate so much of our old silver!
