Default First Attempts

hello everyone, this is my first post after hanging arround for some time, just got my classic a couple of weeks ago (incredible tool!!!) and I wanted to share my first practice plates and attempts at engraving. I know i still need allot of practice, I hope to be able to attend some clases next time I am in the US but probabbly won't be until next year. So please go ahead and give me your sencere commets, anithing i can learn from you will be welcome.

Tried to engrave something with the Cobalt Gravers on a hardened blade but keep breaking the points, any tips on how to do this without softening the blade again? thought about making the graver tips less delicate and using a shorter stroke setting to minimize the abuse, but will probably go real slow.....

Saludos From Mexico
