Using two tools

Sam · Nov 2, 2017

An example of what can be done using very basic hand tools, in this case a square chisel and a chasing hammer.

Sharpening by hand. Nothing fancy except the microscope I was using, but obviously it can be done with a headset magnifier.

"Nothing fancy",

Except massive ninja engraving Skills.

But thanks for the encouragement, someday I hope to have some small skill too.

A lot of truth to that, JJ. Churchill has very few tools cluttering his workbench, and he produced the best engraving in America.
