Default Re: First real AirGraver project

Oops,

Hi Steve and Peter,
You American guys tend to measure everything by inches or USA coins.
Here whe use milimeters so its fairly hard for me to guess how big the engraved things are. So I got myself an Inch / centimeter ruler but should also get myself a set of American coins to see how big/small your beautys are!
As my figurative engraving skills are progressing I find myself looking for other things than just scrap metal to engrave.
Just last week I chose my litle engraving ball to be victom :tongue:
I hacked and slashed two 2mm wide cirkles one about 3cm and the other about 6cm in diameter(dont have my ruler with me for inches) and inlayd them with silver. Now I have to make a design to fit between the 2 cirkels. Boy, does stainless su.. when used to silver or copper!
I will be sure to post a picture soon.

So Mr Bond, don't get into to much effort in posting coins but thank you very much for the noble idea :yesnod:
