hand e dave, I will definitely take your advice, start slow, and work my way up. I don't see myself engraving guns for a long while from now. At the moment I am enjoying the simple hammer and chisel /hand push method for practice. I am going to pick up a few books on how to draw scroll. I am a decent artist, and practice makes perfect. All I can do is give it my best and keep at it. I have an old pick up truck I can go to town practicing on, she's my Frankenstein,
! hand e dave, I just checked out the jewelry you did back in the 90's, awesome work! Thanks for the welcome and I look forward to learning, and meeting more members within the community. I am loving it so far! Thanks again!!
