Sam, thanks for organizing this great forum. Along with your website, it is a wonderful resource.
I was particularly interested in the recent thread about hammer and chisel engraving. I would also be interested in more tips and information on this method. I don't know if anybody else has this problem, but, the noise generated by the rapidly impacting pneumatic handpieces bothers me. I tend to keep mine adjusted for the slower and longer strokes just for this reason - the lower frequencies generated are not so annoying. I started with the palm push method years ago and this is really my first choice. I have not done very much hammer and chisel work, but, I would like to do more.
Is anybody else interested in hammer and chisel? Or maybe I'll just have to knit a soundproof bootie for my graver.
Thanks, Sam
Craig
