Default Hi Another Newbie

Hi from New Zealand
Found this site and really enjoy reading & learning. There is an incredible amount of knowledge & info on this forum, well done to you all
Havn't had time to start engraving yet, just putting time into brushing up on my art work. Spent the last 30 years doing to much Cad work and no free hand so it will take awhile.
It will take a while to get some gear together as the tools are not readerly avalible down here. Importing is proberly the best option but will have to time the exchange rate right
Cheers Graham

Good luck,

Thanks Gail
Yes I have started on all those sections and enjoying them. I must say when you see some of the Quality of engraving in some of the photos you feel like burying your head in the sand but I keep reminding myself we all had to start somewhere
I picked up a book the other day "The Art Of Engraving " by James A Meek
this to is interesting
Cheers Graham
