Default Re: Im Chad in WI

Im afraid the scanner is all wonky but I found some old pictures of a compass I did with H&C.
This is about two years ago, I tried it on ebay with no takers
The scroll is my first attempt at drawing on my own, not my strongsuit.
The book I mentioned is one of Marco E. Nobili's. 'Great book of Engraving' is the english translation.
I made both the hammers one is .75 ounce the other is .50 ounce there is 32 grams in an ounce you'll have to do the math yourself!
Yes I hand carved those handles.Sometimes having time is better then having money!
The graver handles I had someone do for me.
Is there a way to tell members by proximity?
there are two pros by me but I don't feel right asking them to help me for free.
But mabye there is another newbie like me near by who has figured out different things then me?
So this is my shout out.
I am about 1.5 hours north of Minneapolis Mn and wouldn't mind company.
