    Noel I've called many things, late for dinner,  now a tease...:>) I
    did write a whole article in the Bench magazine some time ago..just
    on graver sharpening..even!  as it is written>> "Thou shalt not use
    any other artificial means of shaping gravers"...Gerry:1-3. All
    kidding aside folks, if you MUST rely on 'other' means to excuse
    yourselves in finding the correct angle of the face of the graver.
    How can you modify the 45o angle and figure out how to execute
    different angles for different purposes. Case in point, my very own 
    bead raisers has a steeper angle of 33o and the rough- cutting angle
    is 45o, right-sided angles is of maybe 25o...can YOUR graving
    attachment give you these different angles at a seconds notice???? no
    way, eh! ..its all in the way of holding your wrist & hand, I
    actually hold my fingers and wrist in two separate angles at once,
    just to capture the correct angle that is needed. did I mention that
    even leaning on one side of the graver blade gives me the much needed
    angle to execute the necessary angle for right-sided cutting. In
    April, I am to explain in full detail the many methods of graver
    angles and how to cut in Chicago with the sponsorship with BENCH
    magazine and Q&A's too. This will be a three demo at a simulated
    setting bench. My tools and more, oy vay! HEAR THIS, does anyone want
    the copy of this article?...email me with the name in the
    subject-line "graver shaping"...Gerry!
