I finally got my scope set up and this plate is my first engraving with the scope. I can see there is a learning curve when using the scope but man oh man what a difference in being able to see. So much more fun when you're not guessing where the cut will begin.
A few more things I've learned....
Still need more practice with tool control
Things in the scope look larger than they actually are.
I still need lots more practice and study on my shading.
I see two places that I am pleased with. The bad still outnumber the good.
My real test will be when I engrave my hoofpick. Not there yet but getting closer.
I included the pictures of the practice plates I cut using the Optivisor and the scope for comparison.
So have at it....I want to hear it all.
Thanks
Jerry
