Engraving – early attempts

[Rik ShawParticipant @rikshaw]

A first attempt engraving a brass plate with an Isel CPM 2018 for the lid of my goodies box (yes, another hobby)!

First attempt?

It is lovely work, the entire box and plate! I do like that "Latin"!

Was that hand-work by gravers, a pantograph engraver or a CNC router?

Just spotted: the two screws' slots are in line. I know little about guns but I isn't that a gunsmiths' tradition, a bit like clockmakers crossing out wheels to sharp internal corners?

Screw slots all in the same plane was the only thing I learnt from my grandfather who was a cabinet maker. One job he did was fitting out on The Queen Mary. It's something that shows that the tradesman cared ! Noel.
