Re: new Coin Carver from washington
Hey everyone, I am wanting to start engraving but an bran new to it. I went to school to be a machinist and am now going to school focusing on Jewelry. This quarter I am learning chasing and repoussé. I have picked up a couple of hammer hand peices that go on a Rio Grande flexshaft that I have been told can hold gravers. Is this the way to go or would you guys say starting out by hand is better? Also I live in Eastern Wa (moses Lake area) and all of the schools I have seen for engraving seem so far away. Any advise? thx
