Scroll cutting & shading practice #1

[grumpyphil]

I like this. It has style.
On another note, I wish we had a bit of "template" on these threads. I think it would be very helpful if the material engraved and the size of the work were stated.

Hi,
This is my humble version of the 'Scroll Cutting and Shading Practice #1' and it's mostly thanks to you guys, I learned a lot from your posts.
In Hebrew, there's a proverb saying "be a tail to lions and do not be a head to foxes", although I still slip a lot, I definitely feel I'm a tail to lions!
Thank you
Guy

Guy, I like that one ""be a tail to lions and do not be a head to foxes""
Looks good to me, I even have similar ones that illustrates my learning curve.
Keep going

Here I go Sam, took some time I know. I hope I’m not too late to have mine on the result page.
I had to wait for my En-Set to arrive. And as I had to play with it a bit to get used with the new tool, I did it twice. The zippo imitation was a bit harder as I had to cut true the chrome plating.

Arnaud ,nice Zippo! before the En-set what tool you had used a gravermax? how do you feel with the change?

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

Mrthe, thanks, my first and only tool before the En-Set is a GraverSmith. I know it is not used by many, but I'm quite sure it is just the same as the gravermag or max.
It is the slow speed I like much and the easy control to make a hairline and regular cut without changing settings. And of course its sound is great.
