"Scrimshaw starter kit".... Thoughts.

[Jesse.beckham]

Just stumbled upon this.... Thoughts. Asking in a general sense, not asking if it's a good deal. Reckon it comes with a special skip years of practice kit?

i'd comment if there was more info about what was included in the kit.one has to assume (leastways i do)that the scales aren't the real deal. for ones' personal use, hey -- for 54 bucks--what's there to lose ?

Like Monk stated what is there to lose, if I was interested I would spend the $54.

Monk here is a link to the seller(not affiliated with),like you said, for the money I would get one, it has real bone scales, it would make a great starting project I think.

Check out Sandra Brady's Beginning scrimshaw kit. A few dollars more at $80.00, no knife but the instructional DVD alone is worth the money. Full disclosure, I am not affiliated with Ms Brady in any way but do admire her work.

Just my two cents, but I would buy this one, only 26 more.

Oh, I'm not interested in scrimshaw, I was just curious what everyone's opinions would be on this one. I just happened upon it and thought it a good subject for the forum .

I don't think the kit has much information in it, maybe just enough to get someone interested, get them frustrated when trying to scrim, and, if they don't quit, look for more and better instructions. I bought Sarah Brady's comprehensive scrim kit at Scott's Engrave-In last year and you really get your moneys worth with it. The video instructions alone are worth more than twice the cost.

tyvm for the link. i'd say for somebody wanting to give scrim a whack, good deal.it has the ink and all basic goodies needed. the scales are bone. good mtl to learn on.
