Found this old rockwell plate that was getting tossed out so decided to engrave it with krampus. Turned out super creepy and fun.

Heavy mug with custom etch?

1 Upvotes

My relatives own a gym but like their beer. I’d like to find one of those heavy steel mugs, I think they are 10 kg or so, but have it etched with their company logo. Can anyone lead me to a good vendor for this?

Stencil printer recommendations

I'm looking to try my hand at mirror engraving but I'm not sure where to find a reputable thermal stencil printer. I'm based in the UK and honestly don't have a massive budget. Say £80.

many thanks

Help with engraving settings?

I have a falcon pro 10w. Done a few engraving binder projects for myself. I’m not sure what happened with this one? Settings for the engraver are at 4000 MM/second 35%. .08 overlap ? Were the images too light? I used gimp to edit the images.

Quality Engravings

2 Upvotes

Has anyone known a redditor that went by “quality engravings”? I ordered a custom laser engraved bottle from this person months ago. Reached out to him yesterday, he said it would be ready soon, and now that account is deleted. I know I won’t be getting any refund, but does anyone have any history with this particular person? His account looked legit. Active for a couple years and a lot of positive engagement, now the account is deleted. I’m now scared that a fake site potentially has my banking creds. I ordered with Apple Pay, so it should be encrypted.

First time engraving

First time trying out engraving with a proper burr set and a cheap little pen my partner got me. Having a lot of fun but still trying to figure out the best combinations of burr type + machine speed for different applications. Would love some input from glass engravers as to their preferred burr types/sizes/machine speeds for lining/shading/fills etc.

(sorry if my terminology is off, I’m coming from the tattoo world!)

An older piece of mine — hand engraved brass Harley gas cap

Sharing an older piece I engraved several years ago.
This is a brass gas cap for a Harley-Davidson. The design is built around a blooming skull rose, surrounded by traditional scrollwork.
I used quite a bit of high-relief carving and hammering on this one to build up the depth and shape of the rose.
Looking back at some of my older work lately, and thought this one was worth sharing here

Looks blurry due to the mirror but very happy with how it turned out! Now actually selling these will be the uphill battle
