Hand push lettering.... An excercise in frustration!!

[Bluetickhound]

Lighter cuts and a lot more polish on the heel have helped substantially... I'm on the right track now and I really appreciate the tips, advise and encouragement! I'll be hitting it hard this weekend and will drop in at some point with a picture showing (hopefully) good progress!

Hand pushers may be interested in the book "Winter's School of Jewelry Engraving" by Albert winter, 1915. I've looked to purchase it and it is not for sale anywhere as far as I know. It can be found on internet archives, archives.org, and each page can be viewed and printed out if you like. I suggest you use greenshot to print them out if you want to do that. There is much information on monograms.
