Default Hello everyone

Salutations from Los Angeles. My name is Andrew, long time listener first time caller. I’ve been fascinated with engraving for over a year now and now I am finally giving it a shot. At last I have invested in a classic airgraver and a Goliath vise. I am still learning about sharpening gravers and a bit nervous about diving in. I’m extremely green when it comes to proper hand engraving and the work that you all produce is still magic to me. Ive always had to be resourceful in new creative endeavors and unfortunately I happen to execute new art forms as the “crude and effective ” type. It may have worked for me in the past but it doesn’t apply very well at all in this craft. I am grateful for the opportunity to be here and learn from everyone. I may not post much, but you can bet that I’ll be lurking here all the time. And I appreciate it. Cheers.

Welcome Andrew! You made a great choice with the Classic....just have patience and work at it as often as you can and progress will come. If you can take any classes it will carve much time off your learning curve. Best of Luck!
