Thanks for great comments
This was my 18th coin and i really enjoyed engraving it.
I learn something EVERY time i pick up a graver whether it is about cutting or sharpening or even just the way i sit at my scope
again thank you
Dave

SO COOL ! and only 3 fingers ! really getting great dave. i'm thinkin maybe some of the carvers are gettin nervous !

Monk
lol
no need for nervousness yet.
I have to figure out what kind of bench grinder Billzach is using for his fields.
I am thinking he has a very large shear that he shaves off the rim and profile of the coin then flattens the fields then he glues the rim and profile back on...Billzach come on is it gorrilla glue for the regluing?
I do think that i am improving and a large part of it is because of this great site. the people here are so nice and helpful.
thanks again for all of the great encouragement
Dave
