A little more progress on 1st line engraving

Jim Sackett · Oct 26, 2008

I am still amazed at how much more I can do with my Monarc and air assist. Around the eyes and nose I didn't use the air, just a very push. This is on a 4 x 6 brass plate.

All comments and suggestions appreciated.

Jim, looks pretty good to me, I haven't tried any bulino type engraving yet. still working on my scrolls.
Looks like you have progressed quite a bit in a short time.

Thank you Kent,

I struggled for a year or so with my push tools trying to get back what I had at age 30. I finely got a Graver Max and now I'm almost like 25. I still need lots of practice on drawing and cutting scrolls.

looks good. my eyes are ready for the glue factory. my doc is going to start yanking my natural lenses in november. he claims i'll be restored to good vision once the implants are glued in place. hope so, anyway.even so, i'd never have the patience to do the bulino art.

Thank you Monk,

They removed a katerack and put in a new lens about 3 months ago. Improved my vision 80%. Good luck to you. With my new Graver Max and new eye I'm as good as I was at 25. Well almost, it depends on who you ask. I guess.
