Thank you Rich and Jim, if someone would see it in person they would probably be able to point out all the mistakes.
Jason I know how you feel, I would just start with a normal graver and start cutting metal and try to get the feel for it. The nature of this beast is to throw money at it. You will buy books, videos, gravers, sharpening templates, vises there's always more to spend. I am also learning, just start and don't stop. My wife would say, you been playing all day again. You got to deal with that as well.
