That is awesome Mary. Hand engraving is another "lost art" that our jeweler
Dave took lessons for from a real old timer. He gets practice. I learned,
but never practiced. It was on modern equipment too, not the old methods
like Dave learned.

I think I have mentioned it before, but my Mom does tatting, crochet,
knitting.

I guess I am teaching for free these days with the auto club too. That is
more recreation/therapy though. I suppose with the tatting, it is for you
too.

Keep it alive!
