[ENGRAVING NOISE] Hello my name is Neil welcome back to
the Happy Hut thanks for clicking clacking? on this video!
Ttoday it's a bit of a strange one I'm going to be
engraving this reusable coffee cup with this reusable engraving tool
I don't know what you call it is it an engraver it's from the now sadly defunct
electronics store Maplin, but you can even get these most places
I've never used one before so my midlife crisis now enters a new artistic phase
I want to write my name on stuff I don't know why maybe it's because I want
to leave some kind of legacy or literally
some kind of mark on the world I'll probably label this video how to
engrave a reusable coffee cup but this is the first time I'm doing this so
calling it a how-to is a bit of a stretch it's more of a first time
engraving so that if you've thought of doing this I don't know why maybe you
want to mark your property or maybe you want to test out a new form of art where
you chisel letters at differing depths but this is this is how it went for me
the first time this time I hope it helps you I can't imagine how - and oh and I
apologize now for my lettering but this is yeah it's my first time
Okay, so I don't know if that's in focus I hope it is
Here's the engraver and I've got it unplugged at the moment - got a lovely shock when I
plugged it in it was on just there I thought
that was the button to start stop it isn't that's just to grip the chuck so you
can loosen it I've chosen this rounded tool so I'll
just plug it in now right that's in so when I switch on...
Away it goes So here I go for my very first
engraving, it's gonna be there sideways here because I can't do it around the camera
Here goes.
I've no idea how thick this would be [ENGRAVING NOISES]
I don't think I'm gonna get my whole name across so it's gonna be in two parts
There's the "At" Can make it look less shaky?
[ENGRAVING NOISES] That sort of looks like an "at".
I'm gonna go for a smaller finer point now so
it's gonna be more like a pen Okay so this is a chance for me to show you
how to change the Chuck I've unplugged it
so it doesn't go off again first unscrew this and then I can't turn this
Chuck off or around so you have to press this button
till it clicks and it holds it in place so that you can unscrew it
and then you can pull this out of the I think that's
called a collet nut they take the drill bit off I've gone for I've gone for this
one which is a thinner tip but it's also not pointed so keep that same width
however deep it goes see how that looks so put the bit into there and then turn
the chuck I think I need to grip it again there we go so it doesn't spin
round and then the nut tightens and then I'll put this grip on the round
it - fits in like that So plug it in again
We'll do some lettering Here we go
Turn it on I've got glasses on to... er so if the bit
snaps, hopefully my face won't snap as well [ENGRAVING NOISES]
With a wobbly "N" Go for an "E"
[ENGRAVING NOISES] I mean, my handwriting isn't great but
even this looks a bit of my six-year-old self - I think I'm gonna have to write my
name underneath it let's try that [ENGRAVING NOISES]
There we go that's really thin, isn't it.
yeah suppose the rounded tips would give me a bit more - more like this one - I
kind of like that - what I could do is use this this thin lettering as a
guide track for the bigger one I know grinding a hole
straight through the coffee cup should I do it yeah I got what do you think so
I'll put a thicker one on yeah I agree good choice but I'll do it with a...
I'll do it with a rounded tip let's turn it
Oh hold the button to undo the chuck take out the bit put in the new bit and then
put the nuts back on right let's thicken up those letters
so I'm gonna start one of the super thin ones rather than keep making that N wonky.
[ENGRAVING NOISES] it's really hard holding the engraver in
place [ENGRAVING NOISES]
Ha, looks like a giant Neil [ENGRAVING NOISES]
That could be an N rather than an R There we go - joined it up with the bit that
went wrong.
"Hoyle?"
[ENGRAVING NOISES] Oh my goodness, let's go for an M
[ENGRAVING NOISES] [ENGRAVING NOISES]
Okay well that's not gonna win any calligraphy prizes but that's pretty
permanent and great and I've learned something there which is...
Let's get the camera here...
If you use a thin drill bit as a guide it's much easier to write
thick rather than just going straight in with the thick drill bit.
There we go I've only been writing that name for decades
uh-huh but there it is in a new with my new pen anyway so that's the very very
first time I've done engraving with engraver like this so I prefer the
rotary one rather than the the type of engraver that's like a needle that goes duhduhduh
just having a spinny drill bit is much easier I think yeah I think I need a bit of
practice with my writing anyway I hope this video has helped, it's helped me if you've
