Default Re: Bulino Templates

My tool has the bottom PARTIALLY ground away,and there are two reasons for this.
One... it allows the tool to be dropped when it starts to dive.

Two... when sharpening by hand (not templates) with an oil and Arkansas stone, you need a certain amount of 'Flat' area on the sides of the tool to stop it from rolling.

All the engraving that i've posted on this forum has be done with this tool, scroll, gamescenes, portraits and inlay.

I have been using it (Push & Hammer) for twenty six years and if you use it correctly, it won't dig in.
