Great to see some youngsters taking to our craft! I started engraving at 16 years old too and was also taught by my father. Good luck with your engraving career. Judging by this bracelet you are already off to a great start and have heaps of potential.

A bit of advice, never put engraving onto a buffing wheel, especially on something soft like silver, you'll round off all your nice cuts. Really, if you are cutting well you shouldn't get a lot of burs so it's worth concentrating on technique rather than finishing processes.

Good luck and nice to have you aboard.:thumbs up:

Very Nice Nevada. Welcome to our world.
So happy to see someone at your age involved in this craft.
All my best for your continued success.
(Looks like you picked some pretty good ancestors too! Tell your dad I said Hello!)
