I'm a chisler!

1
I've been playing around with itty bitty hammer and chisels lately. I try to do something every few days and I'm already making some progress. I'm still waiting on some magnifiers of suitable strength. I've done most of this stuff with my regular readers. The flowers are numbered in order that I did them. The brass rounds are one inch and the steel squares are half inch.

Very nice!
All religions united with government are more or less inimical to liberty. All, separated from government, are compatible with liberty.-Henry Clay
Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.—Aristotle

I'm a little torn between wanting to do stuff like rose and scroll, and feeling like the world is full of that stuff and maybe I should do something that isn't the same as all the other gun engraving that's out there. For now, just lots of practice and learning.

Excellent work. :love:

The screw head is very interesting, it reminds me of early 1900's sewing machine hardware.

Maybe try copying a presidential portrait from a bill sometime, that is what a guy I knew did on custom money clips.

Your designs are very beautiful, reminiscent of traditional Japanese family crests but modern at the same time.

Wanna practice on a 1911 slide?
