Default Re: Hi from Argentina and looking for some guidance

Hi and welcome to the forum :-) I think you answered your own question very well as you said “recently catched my attention” and “started this weekend”.

Most engravers have been drawing and practicing for years. I think before you start trying to engrave a scroll or a motif, practice a lot of drawing and learn how the scroll should look like. Find some practice plates and do a lot of straight lines, a lot of curves till you have control over the graver :-)

Everything will come with practicing, learning and experience.

Steve have some really bullet proof sharpening systems, as you will get the same result every time. And a sharp engraver is very important!

Good luck! :-)
