Two New Practice Plates

[Steveareno]

Inspired by Silverchip’s visit a month ago I thought I would make a couple of silver cuff bracelets for practice. For the project I will use only hand push gravers and an optivisor. I just drew in the design free hand and gave it a try.

Bracelet #1

Bracelet #2

The two Bracelets Finished

It was a challenge and fun but, next time I will use all my power assist tools and scope. I learned a lot and think I got a little better. Next project I will spend more time on layout and design. I will study my various books and DVD’s with more intensity. On a final note I think I am at the point that I have a good enough understanding of the tools and concept to take a class and really appreciate and benefit from it.

Thanks for checking it out,
Steve Shepherd

Hi, very nice work, all with a hand pushed engraver, to me that's impressive in it self. I certainly don't have the knowledge to comment on your work but to a guy fairly new to the process my eyes tell me I think the work is attractive and well cut.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice work! GRS just added a class taught by Diane Scalese running concurrent with Mr. Watt's class. A great opportunity!

Beautiful bracelets, I love the second and I see that it is continuously drawn. At the first you copied Thats what I do often. Hence I find the second a challenge and go try it by myself. Thanks for sharing greetings Caty.
