You do enjoy a challenge don't you? Me, I'm lazy and invariably take the line of least resistance.
Therefore if I had to do this job (and I would have priced to put the client off and help him decide it was more economic to diamond drag), I would have opted to mask, sandblast and paint spray before removing the mask.
Obviously, there is more than one way to skin the proverbial.
Great job, but too scary for me!

The tankards came from Pennsylvania. Not sure of the manufacturer.

I can see you understand the living hell I call my livelihood. :-)
I do get easier jobs, but for the mostpart, it's the oddball stuff.

What I want to know is where do our clients come up with thinking this stuff up for us??

Cindy,
That's an easy one. Active imaginations, without knowing our limitations.
I hate to be told something can't be done, and sometimes, to my detriment, prove it's possible.
I have to confess, there is a deeper motive at play.
Could you imagine the look on another engravers face, when someone brings one of these tankards in, to match the engraving?
I can. (devil)
