In Belgium the title "master" engraver don't exist legaly every body can write "master" on the personnal card if they want but finally it's not important it's only the regards of the other on your works that is important.
I consider any time I dedicate toward becoming a "Master" to be a waste. I consider any time I spend to master my craft to be time well invested
I will go even farther, how good I am is not important! It is the quality of my work. This makes no sense to me. You don't care how good you are but care about the quality of your work
Let the term "Master" be a word that others may, or may not, apply to me.
In all truthfulness, I do not consider myself good, but I can do some good work. I don't understand this either. It seems contradictory unless you are saying that your work is good but you don't consider yourself to be good
By the way,
I do not engrave, but I do some other things that require skill and patients.
