omg man, thats amazing talent. Was this a regular nickel that was wore flat or something else. I have never seen anything like that. I was totally blown away with it.

Very good work indeed.

OK

How do you carve nickle? WIth a pocket knife?

Nickel must be a very hard metal to carve into.You would need to have a carving tool that will carve into it.I can guess that it will have to be diamond-tipped,as nothing will scratch a diamond,apart from another diamond.

Nice one Bill!!

Hardly....go back in his posts and you will see how he does it.

If you like this one go back in his posts he has made in the past and look at the other he has done....he does one heck of a job!
