Hello to All!
My name is Jim Slaughter. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and this is my first post on the forum. I've been snooping around for a few weeks. I've ordered a PC setup and Steve tells me it's in the mail, so next week begins the rest of my life. I'm hoping to keep an open mind about where I go with engraving. I've had a couple lessons from a local engraver that have whetted my appetite. He uses the "other" equipment but immediately suggested I go the Lindsay direction. I've been metalsmithing for about 20 years and doing chasing and repousse on my lamps, etc., for three years now. I have a studio in a plating and silversmithing shop, so have the opportunity to study a lot of engraved work that comes through. Recently I've been doing some framed sterling bugs. Here's a sample. I can already see where this could be improved with some decent engraving! Regards, Jim
