    Cool! 1st one? I've seen a few videos on YouTube of people doing carvings. Don't think I've the dexterity for it. Did you take 'in progress' pictures at all?

    I usually do classic hobo nickel carvings (my initials are on the back). This is kind of a new direction-smoothing off a coin and doing a different design verses modifying an existing design on a coin.
    I am working on a series of Star Wars hobo nickel carving. One of them is an X-wing fighter with the words "stay on target" circling it. They will not be for sale. I have 15 different designs.
    I will do progress photos for the Star Wars coins. I did do progress photos for smoothing a full horn nickel.
