Default Re: Introduction

I too welcome you to this board. As stated, feel free to ask for help and to be sure, you will receive many answers to your questions. There are many of us here with many years experience ( I have been a firearm engraver for 48 years) that can short cut many problems you may encounter. The best advice I can offer is to practice, practice, practice the basic cuts first, learn how to draw and lay out your scroll to accomidate the lines of the particular piece you are to engrave. And, of course, ask questions. Of there is a competent engraver in your area, give him a call & ask if you might stop by for a short visit to ask for guidence. You can learn alot in a few minutes by just watching. Good luck, Ken
