Default Re: Salutations!

Inkling,

I'm always happy to hear of a realtivly young person getting into hand engraving. Since you are young and don't have to immediately use engraving to make a living, it is good to start by learning with a burin as well as hammer & chisel. If your goal is to strictly do lettering the burin is the tool for you.

Browse through the glossary by clicking the link under my signature and you will be exposed to a wealth of information about the tools and designs used in the craft.

Regards,

RB
