How to Draw & Engrave Scottish Scrolls
WITH NEVADA MILLER
I am beyond excited to teach you how to draw your own scrolls and learn the cuts involved in this style of engraving that is efficient and impactful. At the end of this course you will feel confident to draw your own designs and cut them on whatever item you have in front of you. And I promise you, you do not have to be an artist to draw these! I will show you a method that will allow anyone to be successful. We will also learn how to sharpen our gravers because without sharp tools we can’t do quality work!

ESTIMATE INITIAL INVESTMENT COSTS FOR TOOLS & MATERIAL
We understand that deciding to invest in learning a trade takes thought and planning. As always better tools make the learning curve less steep however you can start small and add tools as you go. Lastly a lot of tools used in one course can be used in another of the same trade.
Below are the top tools I would prioritize in purchasing for this course. I fully understand that engraving equipment is an investment but I can assure you that all my euipment has held up to over a decade of work, only having to replace gravers as I wear them down. This list I chose the more economical options of equipment than I have in instances but they still work great!
Doer and Dedicated Levels recieve full tools and resource lists with linked items.
- Graver Smith Air System $1175
- 901 Handpiece (the thing you hold that the graver slides into) $405
- Standard Block (the rotating, tiliting vice to hold your work) $745
- Graver Hone Sharpening Set (allows you to sharpen tools effectively and accurately) $1655
- GlenSteel 45 or 42 width Flat Graver
- C Max Round Graver Blank (we can sharpen these into whatever geometry we desire and I teach you how to in this course) $11.25 & QC Holders for Graver $8.50
- NgraveR #12 Bent Extra Wide Liner & QC Holder for it $7.50
- Air Compressor (If you have a large one for a shop you can run air from it but I have had good luck with these cheaper option from Amazon in my shop) $155
- Total of these tools ~$4200
I really enjoy the way Nevada breaks down the scrollwork into smaller, more manageable pieces. I went into the class overwhelmed at the thought of drawing scrolls for engraving, and after a few quick lessons, I felt more confident in my ability to lay out designs on my own. I am eager to use the knowledge I've gained with Be a Maker School to help take my skill to the next level.
