Default Re: Just got up the nerve to post some pictures of my first attempts at engraving.

Well done Tom. The cross looks great with a lot of fine detail. Your wife must be so proud of you.

I can not wait till I can get to where you are, with your engraving.

It would be so nice to give my wife something that I have designed and constructed from start to Finnish. I am sure it would be that extra special for her to wear and would be a good conversational piece.

I sometimes wonder if my Palm control will ever be able to produce half as good quality of work as what I see on here from people that are beginners.

I also sometimes wonder if it is being driven by a drunk driver when I attempt to follow the lines of a scroll. I have to start saving some money to invest in classes, I think I need someone to point out the multitude of things that I am probably doing wrong.

I am going to stick to the practising, hoping that anytime soon a light bulb will come on and it will start to fall into place.

I look forward to seeing your future work.

Ian
