Its been exactly one year since I started engraving and hobo nickels were the most chalenging I ever atempted I can notice my progress but I feel dissapointed in myself when I look back at all those nights without sleep .
I really love engraving and my mind is blowing with ideas but im affraid to engrave them because even now I fail at simplest designs . My work is suffering also with lack of magnification (I use Optivisor 3,5 ) but still sometimes I cant see what im doing and even if it looks nice through visor it looks poorly engraved in picture so now im asking all the carvers : how do you remove material at tight surfaces ,how do you polish and texture them?
Becouse it seems im still missing chunks of information.
So im asking for your strongest critique so I can boost my lerning curve .
Im just tired that all this hard work is worth less than 5 USD (based on auction winning bids on ebay).
With best regards from Austria!
