    Hi John *as seen on tv*
    You might try the engraving forums, though most are US based.

    Hope you join in the forum with your knowledge.

    Someone in China did that without consulting the rest of us.

    Get up to the Garden & find a tool shop where you can test drive one...it`ll help speed up some of the heavier cutting, but you`ll be wanting a compressor & sharpening system for the tool blanks.

    The other two manufacturers of air power systems are lyndsay & enset which are both great & do a similar job, but you won`t likely find cheap 2nd hand.


    Then you`ll want a microscope...ect ect.....

    If you don`t fancy spending a fortune, get a benchmate system & remain old school.
    This will take alot of pressure off your clamp holding hand & you`ll find it helps alot...this is because it holds the work alot tighter than you can by hand & you don`t lose that energy generated..so you`ll find cutting alot easier.

    I am going to Stubbs in the garden next week to try out there's, as I have done work for them time to time they wanted
    Me to work at there premises or be very close to them in the garden but I am not going back up there for 25 years had enough up there , they will not give out work unless your very close to them as you have no doubt found that out,
    I was speaking to George from Stubbs tonight about you he said he nows you and both agreed you should put some
    Pictures of your work on your website so people can see what you can do .
