It's time to give the new deep line tool and Lindsay Artisan a test drive. I sharpened the tool using both red templates so I would have a heel, did a little test cutting with hammer and chisel to make sure the tool was cutting correctly, then put the tool in the artisan, I wanted to see what the cutting range of this tool was. From digging out the background to the light shading it didn't miss a beat. It took a little getting use to because I usualy use a push tool for the medium to fine lines which takes some force but with the artisan I had to learn to guide it (big difference). The first picture shows the main cutting almost complete. The second picture has a lot of glare but I wanted to show that some background had been removed.

PS. I will be posting how to use other templates and how the tools work.
