    Help picking a Vise

    Glad to hear, that vise is still peeking at me from the side of my bench. If it saves one person the hassle then it was worth it haha.

    Help picking a Vise

    Messed up and got one of them amazon vises starting out, was stuck with it for a while. When trying to tighten on anything just before it would be snug one side would kick up just enough to be a headache. Game changer to have a properly made one, worth every penny. Have a great weekend. BB

    Knife “best project to date”

    Thank you sir, I appreciate that and am glad the background reflects the extra time put in. 2nd attempt at cross hatch background and thought it would go faster and be more consistent than stippling… only the latter turned out to be true.

    Knife “best project to date”

    Good evening to all, Well I’ve officially stared at this too long haha and just finished the shading.

    Critique Request An attempt at redemption

    Good evening Always, looks like good subject matter for practice, maybe cut that same layout 3 or 4 times over Try to slow down and focus each cut as your following your transfer.

    Help, please: SOLVED: Problems setting up my new GraverMax

    Good evening Jess, just a thought…. Is your auxiliary knob opened up? This bypasses the foot pedal needing to be pressed and give the hand piece constant air as though the foot pedal is pressed in….. couldn’t hurt to check
