Sam, you are giving away your age. That is what my dad used and my grandfather. I am 74 and I have used this type of wax off and on for years. Still use my Dads. Jack

Jack: I might try my goofy wife's recipe of goat sweat and spit. We don't have a goat so I'm not sure where she gets it. I also wonder if the spit is goat spit or human spit.

It's never a dull moment around here as you might imagine.

Sam and Abigail,
The very best spit to combine with the goat sweat is camel or llama spit.
A little goes a long way.........!
Just let me know if you need some....I have a lifetime supply.

Thanks folks, and I'm happy you're enjoying and learning from the video. Lettering is an excellent skill to have and many engravers don't place enough importance on it.

I was recently delighted to see an example of Tim Wells' lettering. I am really impressed with his control and execution. :beerchug:

Thanks for that Sam, I'm delighted that you liked it. I hope you can get some use out of that thing, that's a limited edition you know...:big grin:

Lettering is something I enjoy and constantly strive to get cleaner each time, sometimes I get away with it and other times, well...
