Hi from the Netherlands

[Postelwijn]

My name is Lei from 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. I have been visiting this forum for a few months now and decided it's about time I joined. I'm very much impressed by the work of all the excellent engravers that are on the forum. I'm an engraver myself too, though I'm mainly working as a diesinker. As for hand engraving: At present I'm still working with 'push-gravers' but I'm intending to try pneumatic gravers in the near future. For what I've read and heard about it so far, Steve Lindsays tools are the best on the market right now.

Thanks,
Lei

Ah, Eindelijk
Wanneer kom je hem nu eens halen?
Nice to have you here Lei
To show the others what you can do, please make your own album
That would show them Holland has some great engravers too

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for welcoming me.
I'm still checking out how things work here. One of the things on the list is making an album. I'm slightly intimidated by the awesome quality of the work on this forum though
Cheers,
Lei

Hi Noud,
Thank you. I have an appointment with Daniel on saturday. He is willing to borrow the palm control equipment to me. But hopefully he's going to give a demonstration how it works first. I'm a bit of a slow learner so I need a good demo
I'll keep you posted.
Lei

No worrys I will show you everything I can.
