    Interesting Antique Graver

    Compressor loud „wooosh“ at end of charging

    i have 4 compressors. 3 small, i large. all are silent xcept the 7.5hp. when the unloader valve opens on it , it's kinda very noisy. but the nature of the work i do with the big one, uh, i just ignor it. fortunately, it's located in my outside workshop.

    Help, please: Trying to teach myself engraving while at home

    photograph the coin you're going to carve. take the jpeg and enlarge it on paper. then, using a seperate sheet, do your idea, this can save u time as well as a botched job.

    finished for today

    amongst other things, you show a lack of graver control. this is evident in the varying widths/depths in a given spine. this is good that you practice. much is needed to take control of that pesky little tool. those that reply aren't climbing up your back, rather we are trying to give you...
