I have been asked on many occasions to do engraving on to wooden boxes or on to pens.
The latter I have always resisted as the pen just becomes another "engraved pen" that can be brought from any big suppliers for a few pence.
I have been working with a friend that has a C02 engraver but has never really got around to using it fully in the last year and saw it as a failed "to buy"..
So I pounced while the iron was hot and now the proud owner of a C02 laser engraver. I have modified it and built my own rotary axis so can now engrave pens if the need arises.
The pen on here is a first go at engraving that I thought I would have a play, especially for@johnny5;
Took less than a minute to engrave. (about 5 mins to set up)
The pen is a fancy slimline with dragon engraving on the bottom section, turned out quite good and impressed so far.
I don't plan to do any specifics or promote the engraving of the pens, however a few specials will do no harm.
