Just to say hi. Im a buckle &saddle silver maker from Texas for 18 years &havefinallaly decided to jump into the world of square tool engraving instead of the old flat graver on silver.So far Ive had a great time learning something new,engraving on steel is lots of challenges.eventually i want to take some classes on bulino and knife/gun engraving classes.All the guys &gals Ive met either online or at classes/forums have really been helpful in sending me the direction I think I need to go.This is my first attempt at using the net for much of anything so if there are suggestions to where to find videos or other instruction I would appreciate it greatly.

There are a lot of us beginners here, but also some real masters kind enough to guide us along.

I can't recommend Steve's videos enough found at these locations:
