Darren,

Thanks for the encouragement. I think the change in technique has improved my work a lot. I can see it and I think most of my customers can too. The only drawback is that the cut bulino takes a little longer than punching dots with a punch so the work cost more. I have had to raise my prices to make up the extra work involved.

I think the biggest advantage is that I can now do pictorial work under my microscope so it looks better (even magnified). When I was punching dots I had to do that with my bare eyes because the punch was always in the line of sight when I would try it under the scope.

Ray
