Hi Another Newbie

[take-down]

Hi from New Zealand
Found this site and really enjoy reading & learning. There is an incredible amount of knowledge & info on this forum, well done to you all
Havn't had time to start engraving yet, just putting time into brushing up on my art work. Spent the last 30 years doing to much Cad work and no free hand so it will take awhile.
It will take a while to get some gear together as the tools are not readerly avalible down here. Importing is proberly the best option but will have to time the exchange rate right
Cheers Graham

G'day Graham and welcome,

There are a growing number of us from this part of the world. Take time to ask your questions - there are a huge number of experienced engravers who seem only too willing to help.

Good luck,

Roger

Welcome to the best knowledge base of engraving available on the internet.
If you start with the Engraving Glossary, and work your way through the videos and do searches, you will have several lifetimes of experience and information to tap into, all at your fingertips.
Enjoy, and

Thanks Gail
Yes I have started on all those sections and enjoying them. I must say when you see some of the Quality of engraving in some of the photos you feel like burying your head in the sand but I keep reminding myself we all had to start somewhere
I picked up a book the other day "The Art Of Engraving " by James A Meek
this to is interesting
Cheers Graham
