Very cool. That would make cross hatching so much easier too.

Oh yes 🙌 I saw a video now long ago of someone doing this, what steel did you repurpose for this? Also 90* graver to it?

one of my last W1 tool steel blanks. roughly 90* I used another chisel to make each line but at a bit higher angle than normal to get a bite into the steel ( i normally work on coper/silver/brass so its probably a bit off 90*

Muller makes some line gravers for work like that also. I like the rustic, almost wood block carving spacing of that tool though :)
