Greetings!
I'm a newbie! I mean a brand new "Newbie" I am really interested in getting started! My Interests in engraving is the american style of engraving as seen on Patchboxes and inlays of the "Golden Age"
and earlier American Longrifles. I am not interested in power engraving, but rather in the hammer/chisel
method. my question is, What do I need to get started?? what Gravers will I use the most? I was told
by an old engraver "Charlie Baker" that 80% is done with a square carbide? is this right? help me out Pards!
