Hello from Dos Palos
My name is Kenneth Crutcher, I am a 72 year old male retired Airline Pilot from Dos Palos, California. I've been reading the posts and watching the video's for several months now. I finely decided to join in. I started Engraving as a hobby with hammer and Die Sinker chisel about 1970 shortly after reading Jame Meek's book. After a while I could satisfy my own self so I purchased a grs system. I could not do anything with that system that I liked. I soon grew disgusted and put down the tools (for approx 35 years). One day I ran onto Steve's Video on YouTube. It has sparked my interest again. I am going to play with the system for a while. But there has been a lot of water under the bridge in 35 years, I have had a slight stroke and lenses transplanted in my eyes. After seeing Steves graver sharpening Instructions I found sharpening had been one of my problems. If I can justify a Palm Control Graver I will have to get one.
The trouble with doing nothing is knowing when you are done.
