Hey all, Im Nic. I found this website whilst looking around the net one day. The engraving you guys do is absolutely incredible. Im a 2nd yr jewellers apprentice from sydney, australia and im actually in the process of being semi taught and self taught engraving. My TAFE (tech) teacher got me started late last year as he also runs the hand engraving course at my college. Im finding it incredibly fun as ive been a drawer my whole life. Also its a lot less stressful then working on the bench at work doing repairs faster and faster everyday hahahaha. Im actually learning using old fashioned hand engravers, what are the benefits of learning with a power assisted tool? Should i become proficient manually 1st? Because im very keen in learning decorative stone setting as well. Im big into extra decoration on pieces of jewellery, which there is a lack of i think, and thats why im trying to learn these techniques. Thanks guys
