[@MARVELOUSMETALS]

Punching letters backwards by piecing them together from smaller shapes is quite a skill!

[@TwoBearMint]

Thank you. I am nowhere near as skilled as the old masters of the craft. It is tiny work!

What kind of metal is the die made of and does it need to be hi temp hardened

[@theimpaler2317]

Do they not have an engraver which you can pull to cut? I believe for me, it would be easier doing it that way to make straighter cuts.

[@TwoBearMint]

I can't say I'm familiar with a pull method, but I use hand push because it is the most similar to the medieval method I focus on.
Also, I am in no way an engraving master. I'm sure the tool is not at fault for crooked lines.

My God.

Did you buy that carving knife online or did you make it yourself?

[@TwoBearMint]

I purchased the graver - I usually buy on websites like riogrande or contenti.
