I have quickly discovered that the PC has significantly enhanced the chasing I can do in the chasing and repousse I have been doing in my work. Note the wings on this dragonfly. That stippling would have taken umpteen hours with a hammer. Also, I was able to do the shading and texturing of the dragonfly body with the tungsten piston in place. I'm making punches from 1/4" steel rod from the hardware store. Suddenly, the possibilities have greatly expanded!
No cutting away (engraving) of metal was done here, but, hey, I've only had the tool for a couple weeks and I'm studying with an authentic engraver, so gimme some time....[IMG]
