Default Re: Hi from a dane living in Canada !

Hi Daniel,

Soon to come. I have left all my tools and gears in storage in Alberta, canada.
I should have a couple of pic kicking around. I must admit that i have not
been the best to take pictures of my work during the years. I have been
working as a wax diamond jewellery carver for years, before moving on to
CAD jewellery design and CNC for the company i worked for in Alberta, though
i also did benchwork setting and jewellery engraving.
I have just moved to Alberta and is in the middle of custody battle, but i
will be staying here opening up a firearm, jewellery, motorcycle engraving
studio. I do not use any of the modern tools such as air gravers.
Honestly I do not think I could get used to them

I remember when I startet apprenticeship, i had to make all the handtools
myself from chasing hammerheads to even the handle to fit exactly in my
hand. Funny to think about.

I am a second generation carver. My Grandad worked as well the same
company where I apprenticed, George Jensen Silversmithy in Copenhagen,
Denmark.

I will post some pics very soon, need to pick up my gear back in Alberta.
