Hi everyone!
I will buy a Lindsay Artisan and a nice vise at the end of May, but I think that I will need something to learn enrgaving from. I have a friend who will help, but he lives far from me, and unfortunately I don't have anyone here in Hungary I could take classes from, so I will need every help I can get.
Is there a good comprehensive book, DVD, or both you would recommend for a total beginner? Please take into consideration that I am in the middle of buying a lot of equipment, so a good cost/benefit ratio is highly desirable
As I see it almost any book or DVD related to engraving costs 50-100$ or more, so I would be happy if I could start with one that covers most of the basics, and gets me started.
I will be engraving mostly knives, razors, and smaller stuff, so those which are mainly gun related aren't really the best for me.
Thank you very much for your help in advance, I appreciate it a lot!
