you didnt charge enough David.....LOL. A guy from Adams golf walks into the shop, i used to work at, says he needs a complete set of his new product line (TightLies) engraved for King Hussein of Jordan. The guy i worked for says he isnt interested but mabe since im a golfer he could make a deal with me. A long story short, I take 2 hours off the clock do the job, and a week later my new set of TightLies comes in from UPS.

Clay,

I agree. Of course, some people reading this thread, probably think I made a killing.

The moral of the story is, while state-of-the-art, computerized engraving equipment, should be on everyone's wish list, there's still money to be made, at a fraction of the cost, with equipment that is probably collecting dust in many awards and engraving shops across the country.

David: I 'm sure you're right about a lot of equipment gathering dust. But How many could do that job as well as you. My bet is, not many.

Mike,

You're right. That's definitely an advanced procedure for pantograph engraving and not one I would recommend, to anyone without a lot of practice, in working without a standard means of depth control.

The fact remains, for someone looking to get their foot in the door, there's a lot of relatively inexpensive pantograph equipment out there.

Many jobs don't require "Stunt Engraving" and I like doing those too. :-)

It is so clogged that you cannot see the pile of 's' in the equation.

It surely cannot be that I am blind. :-$
