I thought I'll join with all the people who are showing their practice plates and other wonderful engravings. Few days ago me and my father got finally set up engraving workbench, building all needed tools etc and I got a chance to see what I remembered and learned from basic engraving class from Sam.
Here are 3 things I've worked on during last 2 days.
First photo is of my first knife I've ever engraved. It's really simple with running wheat border on the backside. Boy, did I break engraver tips on that... During engraving week Sam insisted that I show my first engraved knife, well, here it is
Second photo is of knife blade, knife itself is work in progress. Design is my own (borrowed heavily from Rom Smith's book) and I already learned quite a lot about design doing just this one. But if you have any comments about it, please let me know.
Third is key fob for my friend's birthday. I think I should name it 'hairball', because shading reminds me that
Success and loads of happiness!
