Default My first practice engraving

Aside from a scrap of steel where I just tested to make sure that everything was working right this is my first test run. It's "freehand" and I've never done this before so please forgive the sloppiness and lack of technique.

I used my brand new palm control and it cuts through the copper like it was Velveeta.

I gotta say - this is the most fun I've had in a long long time!





Merry Christmas,

~ Josh

Hi Josh,

Great choice on the palm control.
Nice work on the plate,the cutting is a bit deep, for shading keep practising.

I know it's super deep but I was sort of tring to see how deep it could go - sort of feeling it out. I absolutely love this tool!

Thanks for the feedback.
