    Hi Mark! I'll be putting up the new projects on the forums in the next few days. Honestly I haven't done much metal engraving at all (bad me, I know). I just got some sharpening equipment for Christmas and I'm hoping that being able to properly and consistently sharpen gravers will help work out some of the problems I've had with it!

    Hey Hey! Good to see you! As I type this I'm watching your knikfe and hawk photos "slide show" by -- you're still a very talented skinner!

    Pam says "Hi" back. She laughed when I passed on your query about us getting to an Eastern. These days we have sheep, pigs and chickens -- difficult to get away for the afternoon.
