Hey y'all,

Just wanted to share my 7 minutes of fame - yesterday I was shown on TV as "Estonia's most skilled hand engraver" (now Roger has proof too, that I am indeed the best engraver in Estonia ;)). The main hit of the show was engraved pinhead and small nail head with that channel name written on it (Thanks to Sam for the idea!).

Show is in Estonian, but at least you can see me sweat bullets in front of the camera :)

The advertising value of it remains to be seen, my website traffic hasn't yet increased one bit... But all in all it was good experience, I learned a few tricks I can use for filming engraving and making it interesting. Let's hope few orders come in too.

Vilts - that is neat!

Estonian is a interesting language - to me it seems, something of every language spoken on this earth is in it. I understand three words: millimeter, America and unikat?

Very cool - i hope you get a lot of customers - not only for pinheads of course ;)
Regards, Mario.

Congratulations, that must be soooo cool for you. :big grin: I think your language resembles Finnish, though I don't speak Finnish so I can't really say. :p

One day the guy on TV will be me, only the language will be Norwegian. :big grin:

VERY cool Viljo! I didn't understand a word of the video, but it was still interesting. You didn't look too nervous.

Congrats!

Congratulations Viljo! I hope that this exposure leads to lots of high commission work.

P.S. I understood everything you said without a problem, but that T.V. guy was kind of a fast talker. ;)
Best,

Cool to do that Vilts, and great for all engravers that you shared information about hand engraving with a lot of possible clients.
