Made this master cylinder cover for a friends murdercycle. Went a couple thou to deep with the center drill and lost a bit of detail, but hey, it's not bad for using a center drill as an engraver.

Looks real nice from here.

Looks good Sam!

OK Sam spill the beans - How did you get that much swarf from one little engraving ?? ;D
Very nice though.

Looks good Sam. Maybe try doing some inlay work for the next one.

Hi Rich,
You may want to return to your thread and replace the description of exactly how your inlay work is done. ;) It would be most helpful for others that follow.

Thanks fellas :)

>:D That was a little trick I tried to mimic from the many hours of watching David Marks "Wood Works" show. At the end of the show, he would always show the final project with wood chips scattered about.
What really peaks my interest, is how much detail a person could get into that part if it were anodized and dyed black, and you had, say, I dunno....a cnc laser or something. 8) If I could somehow justify the cost, I would most definitely like to have one!
My friend wanted an Apache helicopter engraved, but there was just no way to put that much detail into it, and still look halfway decent.
Rich, I am indeed wanting to do some inlay work, but as most things, just can't seem to make the time for it. It is on the "list", however. Nice job you done.

Just think of it in terms of 'handbags' and 'shoes' and how many = 1 laser, then do a trade. ;D

Very nice job Sam ! :)

Great advice Tweakie.
That's how I got my plane, but had to throw in a walk-in closet and a Lexus.
:D

Plane? Do tell, Russ. Whatcha got?

Hi Sam, the trade was actually for the entire flying package.
Our club has 2 Skyhawks and an Archer.
Mine is a Piper PA22-160. In the process of re-covering. Should be done by April.
-
Thanks for the alert Tweakie since i really didn't know that the how to description was not in the other post.
Hey Sam, just aword of caution on the part, and that is, you should have done the air hole for the guy.
Maybe put the hole right in the eagles eye or in one of the circular parts of the lettering as the guy could screw up the nice piece by
drilling a big hole where it sticks out like a sore thumb.
BTW, if you want to buy a bridge i can post a link to the thread...... :D >:D

The eagle gets to keep it's eye. With my luck, I woulda broke a tiny drill bit right off, and scrapped the whole thing anyhow. ;D
