Default Re: Practice cuts

Thanks Steve!

Not only good AirGraver practice but good basic practice overall.

Plus I like how it shows what I feel is the real magic of Engraving:

You take this little tool and it cuts lines in metal. You make a simple cut, then a couple more and... there's a leaf!

People think engraving is tedious but to me it's just like Assembly language programming. Everything you do is, in and of itself, very simple and easy - heck, the most complicated thing in everything you show above is a flared S cut and how hard is that? But if you keep doing those little, simple things they add up. And if you add them together the right way you wind up with something wonderful!
