I did have a webshop at one time, but it didn't have much point, because all of my work is made on order and I don't have time to do work on the shelf waiting for someone to buy it (yet).

Also, do you have a shopping website? If not, consider adding one. The dagger I am talking about is this one: http://programmerblacksmith.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/kristo1.jpg http://programmerblacksmith.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/andu_nuga.jpg How much would the first dagger cost?

Or I tried to start. We bought GRS system and tried it for some time, I didn't do any non-power assisted hand engraving. It didn't really work out that well. Then I took Basic Engraving course from Sam Alfano in Antwerp, Belgium (http://programmerblacksmith.wordpress.com/2007/07/17/antwerp-engraving-diamonds-and-jews/). That really helped - one week of intensive learning. If you try to decide whether to buy GRS or Lindsay, then I suggest Lindsay. If you think whether to go to course, then definitely yes! If you live in the States then Ray Cover gives courses and some other alternatives besides GRS, but GRS is very good too.

I was really happy to find your blog. I've looked at the lindsay and igraver sites, but I would like to hear about how you started engraving. The investment in the air tools is a lot. Did you try hand engraving first, or take a class? How beautiful!
