<p>[QUOTE="dak, post: 243537, member: 8504"]I admire the art of Hobo Nickels. I am interested in trying my hand at it after seeing some incredible things by the artist BilZac here on CoinTalk... I was curious if there are any websites out there you guys know of that teach the art of it? Over the past few weeks I've played around with different ways of carving them and am having fun with doing some basic stuff, but I want to learn of some of the finer aspects of the art like burnishing and blending to make the coin look better once the carving is finished. I want to blend away some of the cut marks and give the coin a finished appearance...As well as anyother helpful hints tricks of the trade...Any ideas out there?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
