Hey! That's slick! What do you use to do the engraving? Looks like traditional engraving tools. Beautiful work! I have a plain 'ol black and decker engraver that I use to mark my tubes. Not convinced that it would work nicely on a frame.

thanks all. i plan on doing an engraved rotary pretty soon. just have to finish up the
couple of coil machines i got going on at the moment. Alie-i am using gravers/burins.
they are kind of hard to use, because you have to learn how to properly sharpen them
to a specific geometry, but when you get it right they cut metal like butter...
electro engravers like your black and decker have their place. you can do some nice
shading with one or do a frame design thats all stippled...
