Hi again Rodger,For the past 20 years I have engraved hardwood signs (bar and house types) freehand with a router( V point bit 12mm) -Business successful! For this I developed my own font. I have always had an interest in copperplate script penmanship and can now do signs in this script -freehand routed, not for the fainthearted! I would like to pursue this script as well as monogrammes and illuminated letters in metal but only in small jewellery size. Only as a hobby at this stage.

I think I need Lindsay air graver Artisan with foot control and regulator for compressor . Alternatively should I consider palm control with co2 (cost is a factor)

I have checked GRSTools and decided against.

I really appreciate your help with this. what is your interest in engraving?
Kind rgds John
