1st Engraving Job

[Sandy]

Well here is a photo of my first engraving job. Not sure if my client paid me for making the screw or engraving it. I choose to think he paid me for the engraving. Anyway I am excited about it. The client was really happy with the screw. I guess that is what counts.

Rex,
Thanks for the lifts of the Screw you had in your shop. I would have been lost without it.

Hey Sandy,
No problem. Looks good!
Now you need to tackle something larger!

 

[Sandy]

Rex,
You are right. But when I think about it my right hand starts to shake. And I'm right handed.
Sandy

 

[fegarex]

You do stippling when that happens!

 

[John B.]

Congratulations, Sandy!! Looks good.
You've broken the ice.
You're an army of one.
Now, upward and onward.
Best regards my friend, John B.

So simple yet so nice. Now to the next screw. Loyd

I lost a lot of sleep over that little screw. Making it was simple. The fear of putting the graver to it was something else.

Loyd,
The next "screw" is in the "vice". sorry for the pun.
