Cool new Coin Carver from washington

Hi Everybody! well, it was well more than due time for me to join this engraving forum. ive been carving "hobo nickels" for the past year. basically
altering the face of the native american, or putting an entirely new image on the coin.
i intend to thoroughly examine this site and try to absorb all the information i can possibly use.

to be honest, i have no idea how to engrave! my process to create the images on my coins is more of a "chasing" process. i get unique results using the chasing method, but my way cannot even come close to the carvings of
the people that have mastered the use of their gravers.

anybody that has not heard of carved coins or "hobo nickels"
should check out : http://www.hobonickels.org/

or see my personal archive of carved coins at:
