Hi Gents,
This one is actually for Sam Alfano.
I watched your Youtube video on hand engraved lettering.
I have read elsewhere and noted in the video that you were using one of your "rounded" scribes as a tool to burnish the letters onto the work before you start engraving.
How do you round those off? I have tried this a couple of times and I'm still getting some scratching. I think I need still more radius on the end of the tool.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Matt
By the way, I loved the Crunchy Sam video! ha!
