Re: Returning Newbie
OK so now a couple of weeks on I have been a very busy puppy.
I havent managed any tools yet or made a single cut.
I have devoured the book by James Meek and am busy practicing my drawing skills , or more specifically my lack of such.
I have been very busy gathering books on drawings and artwork either in hardcopy or electronic.
I have convinced my partner that engraving is an art form and she is supporting me in my endeavours 100%.
I caught her going through this site and my books the other day looking for a nice delicate design that she could use as a tattoo. She has one other tattoo and wants another for balance.
We have purchased an older copy of Photoshop for the PC.
Next we plan on obtaining some tools and practice plates.
Things are progressing along nicely. Cant wait to make my first cut but would like to be prepared as much as possible first.
Even convinced a few mates to let me practice on their rifles at a later stage.
