That's nice but I would like to see it done in the process. How many different gravers did you use?

Yes, but Lincoln never left markings so precise as these - nice letters Sam. I love engraved letters when they are done so cleanly, especially at this small size.
A square and a small flat.
Thanks Mike! You’re a dang good lettering man yourself.

I have to admit Sam that I don't post compliments that often, but you're a "true" all-rounder.

Why thank you, Phil! Much appreciated
did you hold your breath when you did this ? i'd thik it would be critical for tiny stuff as you show here.

When I am working on small intricate stuff, I have to hold my breath and bite my tongue.
I don't hold my breath. Maybe I should

I always breath out with every stroke, Probably comes from stone carving days, where i am evacuating the dust from my cut as i go along.. but i feel that it keeps me steady and smooth
