The Lindsay AirGraver and traditional tools
I'm a fan of the Lindsay AirGraver and learned engraving using it right from the start. As a result I've never even made a cut with hammer and chisel. I do use a hand graver for my dot bulino work but that is all. So far the Lindsay chasing air graver I have has done everything I've wanted to do but my range of engraving work is fairly narrow so....
I was wondering if those of you who did "transition" from hand graver or hammer and chisel ever feel that a particular cut or feature is done better with them. If so when and why would you set down the air graver and pick up your old tools?
