Thank you all for the warm welcome.
Monk my "mo"........ is I am a jeweller I own and operate a studio in Geelong Victoria Australia.I have been "at the bench" for 35 years and in that time always had great admiration for the art of engraving.Now it time to get serious and learn some new and interesting skills. I see some very steep learning curves ahead. It should be fun!
More soon
Regards Woody
Welcome Woody,
Yet another Aussie engraver,up to six now from those I have seen (probably more in hiding).Won't be long and the country will be awash.I felt very alone 20 years ago and before the internet.Now just finding my way again and the wealth of knowledge available is truly amazing.This forum has rekindled my enthusiasm and the talent exhibited is absolutely superb.

Welcome Woody, drag up a chair and a cup and we will talk. This forum can answer about any question you might have almost about anything, and I am positive we can learn something from you too......Ron S
Oh, and we might even strike up a song or two some way or other.
