Description Fullveiw Please!

Well, I just got home from my engraving class in Emporia, Kansas yesterday evening. I couldn't believe it was over I just wanted to stay a little bit longer than 5 days, but...I couldn't help it. Yeah, these are my practice metal plates.
According to , she wanted to know what I was working on. So, there you go pal, check them out These aren't good enough to be on guns, I need to practice a lot to get better.

Your practice plate is awesome! Keep on cutting, you'll be engraving guns before you know it.

Congrats on your first engraving! Those are my first engravings too! I just put them on the scanner and then scanned using Photoshop. I'm not sure that you can do it with Altoids tin or not but you can try. Have fun!

P.s. I wanna see your work, send me a link when u get it on here.

i uploaded my 2nd and 3rd engravings and used the scanner like you said. my 1st one sucks really badly so i'm not even going to bother uploading it...trust me, you really shouldn't "wanna see" my 1st one because it just makes the other ones look bad.

wow, you're crazy good for a beginner. my first one actually sucks pretty bad but i did a third one and fourth and they're okay (they're clock work and gear designs)
