Its been awhile since I have been at my bench. Bad marriage, hard times an rough divorce . Im a single Dad raisin a beautiful lil six year old. I lost intrest in almost everything at one point but im seein some light now an i cant stop thinkin about engravin an the time I spent in Val Troumpia Italy in Botegga di Giovennelli studio with all those incredible engravers. I was taught by Master Tempini. I use hammer an chisel, also bulino. I stand up when i engrave except for bulino work. Im scared i dont have a steady hand or the pacients anymore. But i find myself thinkin about engraving almost as if im working on a piece. Please give any advise or kick in the ass to keep my passion alive. Thanks, clw1974,.......I live in Augusta Ga.
