Hi folks,
I'm not one of those people who feels the need to buy the latest and greatest engraving gadget, but sometimes, something comes along which is worth a better look.
Recently, I have been demonstrating hand engraving at a number of shows across the UK & one of the daily issues I face, is the joy of carting the equipment back and forwards every morning. It just doesn't get any easier!!!
When I noticed that Brian Powley had designed a portable, aluminium engraving/scrimshaw block, you can probably understand that I just had to give it a try! So I contacted Brian and placed an order.
The light weight obviously makes it easier to transport, however the reasonable cost also means that I am happy to leave it on stand, avoiding the worry of losing an expensive ball vice.
It has proved absolutely perfect for Scrimshaw and Bulino work, and allows me to easily pass the entire workpiece over for closer inspection.
Very impressed, thank you Brian.
