[metal man]

Hello from Texas. I'm a metal artist and engraver want to be . The work you guys are posting is awsome, and all of the work the new guys are putting up is very impressive. I was turned to this sight by Clint Orms, Silversmith and Engraver. I 've cut a bowling ball for a vise base and have aquired a few hand tools but it looks like numatic is the way to go. Looking for anyone in the Houston area who wouldn't mind a newbe looking over there shoulder. Linsays engravers are fantastic pcs of equipment and can't wait to get my hands on one ( no punn intended). I made knives for many years (as a hobby)
and moved on to metal arts for the past 10 years. Still a hobby, and kind of restricted to day time hours (due to the noise) and looking for some late night therapy. I'll post a couple of my photos. Make a lot of coastal pcs, mostly saltwater fish and birds. Looking foreward to seeing all of the great work you guys put out. Hope to post something of my own in the near future.
