Hi all
I will be receiving, my new classic airgraver, within the week, and will finally have the set up to have a bit of a play
I would like to engrave lettering in my work, and so will show my progress in this thread towards this goal over the allocated time. I Know this is not as exciting as a gun or knife, but I believe its good practice for a learner, and not a bad bread and butter skill as well
While I am waiting for the graver, I have been reading up on the subject in both the "The jewelry engravers manual" and "Meeks" books plus watching Don Glasers tapes.
I think I will start of with the classic script lettering.
Over the next few days I will cut some angle templates, and practice drawing the letters to get a feel of there shape.
Reply's, Help, or Suggestions most welcome, in the main forum.
Yours Paul
