Master Engraver
3:36
Grades: 6 - 12
Video Description: There are very few people in the US who still do engraving the old-fashioned way: by hand and only a small handful of those who are so skilled they are referred to as Master Engravers. But one of those rare artisans is Richard Neustaedter. He uses an old set of German-made tools that look somewhat like finely-honed nails to create his art.
