Hello from the UK

[Dave Turtle]

Hi,

This forum is made up of an inspiring collection of people. There is an fantastic level of generosity when it comes to sharing techniques and ideas. I've learned a great deal from the site over the past year and I like to say thanks.

I am a jeweler working in the UK, I teach at postgraduate level on the MA course at the Royal College of art in London. I am not an engraver myself but I am keen to learn. Like many of the students we have at college one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is how to sharpen a tool correctly, the Lindsey sharpening system looks like a brilliant solution to the problem and I can't wait to give it a try - and hopefully introduce the method to students too.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,

My name is Simon & I'm based just outside London, 1hour into town from here. I'm a full time engraver & I use Steve's Palm control tool & now I use his sharpening system. If you'd like to have a try with either send me a private message & we can arrange something. I will be away until the end of September, but I'll get back to you if you leave a message for me.

Welcome to the Forum.

Simon.

Dave,

Welcome to the forum. Like Simon, I am a long time engraver who has used all methods of cutting and sharpening. I also have transitioned to the Lindsay PalmCoonrol and Lindsay sharpening system. They are both top flight in my opinion and worth every penny (or should I say pence).
