Ron Smith & Amayak, hobs & dies, Opti-Visors & Microscopes

Ron Smith in Amayak Stepanyan’s shop discussing the coin making process, microscopes and Opti-visors for magnification. A chance to sit back and hear two of the world’s greatest engravers from entirely different self taught backgrounds compare notes and talk shop.

Amayak is an absolute treasure and I am proud to call him my friend. He does the most amazing work and has given me a lot of great advice. Every time I see him I find myself taking lots of notes!

He will never understand, He also had some experience at engraving when he stopped using the opti visor and as Ron put it ( He knew what to look for and what to expect a certain cuts out come to be ) Im glad that I didn't apprentice under this guy,I would have quit , If he can't understand this he most likely can not understand why everyone isn't as good as him by comparison at a certain age. He' s a great engraver it appears , but it seems kind of narrow minded. Oh well.
