>Some of you know that I already do a certain style of repoussÈ and chasing.
>I'm pleased with my skill level on that technique, but am trying to add more
>skills using thin-ish sheet metal.  That's the best use of my skills and
>time- with 2 small children, limited shop time, and a need for paying
>commissions.

> I'm self-teaching/learning repoussÈd acanthus style leaves currently.
>Thanks to those of you who have sent me jpgs of Broussard tooling.  I'm
>still waiting for some video rentals to come in through LAMA, but this is
>where I'm at with the technique right now.
