This is a key chain that I bought for the neighbor's son for Christmas. I decided to engrave his name on the back for practice. I am still having a little trouble with the top and bottom of the straight letters. Maybe I should use a flat graver on these and the 120 for the rest of the cutting, give me your thoughts on how I could improve on this particular problem. I am always open to suggestions.
This was done on my drawing breaks, I am still working on the knife drawing. I might finish it today if I don't have to go shopping with you know who.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Thanks for all the support ya'll have given me.

Looks pretty darn good!

I think all you need is the same thing I need for my lettering - more practice.

Thanks guys for the nice compliments. Makes me want to work harder.
As far as addicted, yes I am very much addicted every time I walk into the shop, I have to cut a few lines on anything laying around. It is very much addictive.
