Sometimes it seems like I need three hands using c-clamps. Thought this might be a little easier.

I like tools and gadgets. Found a handle clamp I’m gonna give a try from TRMaker.

T The engravings are equal in depth to my electro etch. You can catch a fingernail in them. Depending on your laser settings you can just mark it or cut all the way through. :)

No Sir. That was done by hand. My friend Jose makes my sheaves. I can engrave leather with my diode laser but not as deep as traditional methods.

Really does a nice job putting a maker's mark on Damascus.

I have a 10w diode laser that I use for wood projects. A knife display. I also have a 60w MOPA fiber laser. I haven't had it long but here is some of the work I've done with it.

Really nice design opaul. I like that alot!

Finished up a filet knife for a good friend. AEB-L stainless. Brook trout scales with stainless pins and white liners. Special thanks to Gene Kimmi for sending me the pattern.

That's working out really slick for you Chris! Have you tried engraving the leather? Add a maker's mark to the sheath?

Thanks Chris! Really appreciate it

I've just recently started working with lasers. I have an XTool D1 Pro diode laser and an OMG 60 watt fiber laser. The diode laser will not engrave steel. Using some marking sprays you can mark steel with a diode laser but it will not engrave it. This was done with the Fiber laser. With...

Looks like your friend had a great time and came out with a very good knife. Nice job!

Thanks Dennis! You make some great knives!
