Default My new nickel

Please keep in mind that this is only 5th and 6th ones I have done, so be gentle, . Seriously though, any tips or tricks that would help out a guy dremel-ing hobo's would definitely be appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Very nice to be the firsts attemps,my advise if you can,is buy some gravers a chisel holder ,a hand push holder and a hamme and a stone to sharp your graversr,carving only with a dremel is very hard expecially if you want add some fine details to yours nickels.

Thanks mrthe! Yeah it is difficult to get any real detail with the dremel. I am looking into getting some hand gravers, need to save up some cash first. I am hooked on this hobby and look forward to getting some tools to help me get better at it. Thanks again!
