I'm teaching a jewelry engraving class this week and did a bit of script lettering for a demonstration with the new Airtact. Because of poor planning I ran out of room and couldn't complete the entire alphabet!

The brightcuts were done with a flat graver with 40° face and 10-20° radius heel. Hairlines were cut with a 120°.

Cheers / ~Sam

Hello Sam, that looks great. I have my name on the list at GRS waiting for my Airtact.
By the way I had to sign a piece of work that I did recently. I only had room for lettering 30 thousands tall It worked out pretty good, but I would not have tried it if I had not seen you do much smaller.

Thanks Ed

Slacker do it until you get!

Your lettering is unbelievable.

I have a hell of a time with that 40 degree face on a flat it always chips on me. I might get the hang of it some day.

I'm really happy that you showed these wonderful examples, as it gives those of us just starting out a reference
