What's going on in your shop?

I am fascinated by engraving. But I know it would become one more full time job, just like every other thing I get interested in.

Finished up a Youth model hunter tonight. First knife with a real Maker's mark using a stencil that I got from Ernie. Very pleased with the way the mark turned out and Ernie is a great guy to do business with. Specs on the knife are:

Steel: Aldo's 1084
Tan and Green Burlap Mircata
Natural Micarta pins and White Liners
Sheath by Joses Leather
Overall length: 7"
Cutting Edge 3and 3/8

Thanks Jason! "Clean work" is what I strive for. I don't make the fanciest knives but I want them to look nice and be very functional.

 

[Justin Presson]

Nice Lucius, looks good!

Nice work on the etch Lucius. What are you using as your power source?

 

[Sean Jones]

Tracy your engraving setup is very nice. I've thought about trying it several times, but the investment seems rather large and the learning curve also.

I have a Personlizer Plus. Too lazy to build one myself.

 

[Casey Brown]

Just for info, if you go to Ernie Grospitch's site, he lists a power supply. I got lucky and found a crazy cheap deal on it. It's a really good power supply.

Thanks Casey - good option for those on 120v - here in Australia we run 240v so have to look at other option.

No problems there. Add a 2:1 stepdown transformer on the input.
