Default Re: Inexpensive way to give it a try

To ground and shape your (Lindsay) new point-geometry will be difficult without a dual-angel-holder device. Especially for non-experienced engravers. For one that will try this for the first time and in an inexpencive way I suggested to use the same gravers that mr. Meek has used for many years. The only thing you need then is couple of gravers with handles and an arkansas-stone. And of course something to engrave. Maybe start with something soft, like copper. This don`t need to cost more than 10-15 dollars.

Then, if you like it, the next step will be to buy a powerhone with a dual-angel-holder. And then start to ground the kind of graverpoint Lindsay has developt.

I hope this make sense. I must appologise for my English, hope you understand what I`m trying to say.
