Default yet more practice (font)

Have to say since I got my Classic my engraving has become more enjoyable. Trouble now is finding the time, anyway knocked this up lately. Scribed it out directly onto the medal blank. Size is 2"
Haven't had a "slip" in a while, getting to grips with the machine also I keep saying it. the sharpening templates are a dream. As easy as falling off a wall.

Regards
John

John,

Great work on those especially the second one.
Do you reckon you engrave better and quicker with the airgraver than before ?
Thanks for the pictures.

You are on you way !!

Definitely engraving quicker, better and more consistently with the airgraver, I must also mention the templates and sharpening fixture are playing their part also.
