I purchased an AM scope after watching fellow engraver Thierry Duguet using one at a gun show with hammer & chisel and push tool I liked what I saw of Thierry engraving with the AM scope clear and sharp I only use mine for Bulino engraving game scenes. J.J.
The block of steel with the holes reminded me of my working in the printing trade those were used in letter press printing to mount the printing plates do you have the plate mounts and the key. J.J.
I tell all new students do not buy any engraving tools until you talk to me because you can spend money on tools that you'll never need tune in to the Cafe for advise lots to learn here. J.J.
