<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MisterWD, post: 2370386, member: 76991&quot;]Nice piece of work but I&#039;m more impressed with depression era hobo nickels. Today we have jigsaws, lasers, all manner of power tools, vices, clamps, modern lighting, magnifiers, etc. Back in the day, hobos scratched out the images on a hand held nickel using a pointed makeshift tool like a needle or pin. Today nickel carvers just grind the nickel smooth to start with a clean slate. Back then they worked with the image on the coin and modified it into something else. It wasn&#039;t done for profit, it was just a pastime. To me, that was true folk art. Today it&#039;s just product[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
