Alaskan, recently plunged into the arena
Hi there,
I have been lurking since last fall. in December i bought what i refer to as Cinderella's slipper. it was a engravers vise.
last friday i bought the setup for a classic graver with the foot pedal regulators and sharpening systems, and a CALIFORNIA AIR TOOLS 4610A air compressor.
the clock is ticking very slowly as i now wait till it all arrives.
i have also determined it is time for me to upgrade to the NKS presto high speed rotary tool. i have been using Dremel tools for 30 years and it is time.
so tomorrow i will find the best possible price i can and Jump on it.
only other thing i am thinking after that is a microscope, i actually like the Leica A-60 i have seen with the deep focus depth.
I have been doing various crafts for 30 years and have always wanted to go for the engraving. i was blessed with hard earned cash this summer and so determined to follow my heart.
carving with a dremel has really been a compromise of the quality i have always wanted to achieve, so i stepped up this week...
winter is coming, the leaves are turning colors and the birds are gathering for their flight south... soon the frigid cold will be here and i plan to spend some time in my warm house loading wood in the stove, carving and praying the price of silver comes down just a bit...
i appreciate all the great information everyone has contributed to here.
wishing you all the best
regards
