Here is a snapshot of the chipping I did this afternoon. Now I have to build a light box to make pictures, it never ends, does it?
Anyway this was done with sharper gravers, thanks to all who gave advice if it hadn't been for that this would have taken me a year to accomplish. I think I may be getting a little better control now that the graver is sharp. I may have to shallow up a little on my cutting tho, every now and then it seems as tho it wants to plow. When that happens I stop and resharpen and it gets better.
This plate had pits in it but was scrap so I used it anyway. There are a few slips but not near as many as it used to be. Guys, it really looks better in person, these are terrible pictures.
Thanks for looking and any comments welcome.
