Thanks for the compliment Bob. Pretty much interested in scrollwork on non ferrous metals at this time. Hand push manual engraving.. Guards and pin heads.
I recently did this peened finish on a bronze guard and really like the texture and depth it brought to the piece. I figure engraving would do the same/similar.
Between the gravers, sharpening, and clamping tools this stuff adds up $$ quick.. Reminds me of all the tooling needed for leather work..
Cheers,
Jerid
