needs a personal message on the inside and then remove the center of the heart.
other than that its finished.

I love it.

Please be careful with bending. You probably would cut the inside of the heart after beding to avoid buckling.

Shawn,


I know for a fact that you have made some pretty awesome improvement over the years you've been posting (with Leonard raggin' on ya all the way) - but I just went back to the beginning or even 2 years ago and can't find ANY of the images?

Have you kept a some?

I'd like to see you put up something you did 4 years ago and something from 2 years ago alongside the last coupla pieces you've posted.

Some of the newer forum members need to see how far you've come. And some of the older members may need to be reminded...

Quite a difference I would say... and in a relatively short time too.

All the way around, from the original drawings to making and engraving the finished product.

Lenny's one of those "rough diamonds"... teaches kinda like Victor Vasquez

But he's worth listening to...

Victor made some criticisms of me and my work that damned sure got my attention over the years. Still miss him.

Shawn, I have had the pleasure of watching your progress most of the way and I know how hard you have worked at it. It is amazing how far you have come in a short amount of time! I hope ol Leonard doesn't see me on here bragging about you or he's liable to start hammering on me next lol. Keep after it amigo
