    Workholding idea for 12x12 plate?

    i made a large board like jonathan. on mine, i drilled and tapped all the holes for small machine screws. with 5 or 6 screws, if one should get in yer way, just move it to a new location. it would help to have a heavy vise.

    Question: Any schools/courses for improving my hammer and chisel engraving?

    it's good you have the resources to take classes. you already have a foundation of knowlege for design, layout, etc. just focus on more practice. try incorporating a bit of h&c in your work routine. who knows, you may well excell after a few "real" hours of doing this technique.
