All of the engravings seen in this section are
carved completely by hand. They are not
die-struck pieces. The majority of the work is
done using a hammer and a chisel, although other
tools are used, as well. My work holder is a
custom lathe chuck, and for magnification,
I primarily use optivisors.
If you would
like to see a step-by-step process of how these
carvings are created, please go to the
George W. Bush page or
The Creation of Ella page. Only a
limited selection of carvings will be shown in
the gallery section now to discourage copying.
All
designs are copyrighted and can not be copied
without our permission
Currently there
are NO NICKELS available for PURCHASE
The engravings on this page have been purchased,
donated, or are a part of my personal
collection. Custom hobo nickels are available -
quotes are based on design, detail, and
difficulty. All of my carvings have high relief
and will have either SGA, my signature, or my
logo engraved on them.
If you are a collector, fellow enthusiast, or
carver, feel free to
email me
with questions or comments. I am a member of the
OHNS (Original Hobo Nickel Society)
www.hobonickels.org/, which is a great
organization to join if you have an interest in
hobo nickels.
