Thanks I have been watching them and I look forward to using the tips in them. One thing I have noticed is I seem to like the stippling effect on some pieces is there a way for me to practice that before I get my air engraver?

Hi Hazegry

Your work there is way good !
Engraving would be ideal if you go for it,my opinion.
JJ is one of the best engravers, guide and mentor.:thumb[1]:
