monogram practice

[Beladran]

I have been working on my monograms after I get off work. I started cutting the script monogram with my flat graver and ran into problems right off! My geometry is way off and I butchered the "D" in the top left corner. So I switched over to my 120 and and finished it out.



little old english



all these are on 2x2 practice plates

I use Sam's flat 40 deg. with 10-20 deg. hill.
Works perfect

You're doing great James. The flat has to be just right but the 120 is also very effective as you have proven. Good work!

no attempt at humor here-- what is meant by a "just-right-flat" btw i like your monogram work. looks nice 40 face ,say 15 heel-- is the heel short ?
