We're happy to help.<br /> <br /> You're not doing that bad if you only have one sacrificial tankard; unless you plan to donate a new one to science.<br /> <br /> You know what they say, "Practice makes you want to get rid of your pantograph." <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> I frequently use a manual pantograph, for jobs that can't be done in any other way. Believe me; I exhaust all possibilities before I go that route.<br /> <br /> Last night, I took photos for another tutorial, which I'll call, "Poor Man's Hand Engraving" which will show, not only the dreaded "Wriggle Block" - a brass typeface designed to imitate the hand-engraved mainstay - but how to arc engrave around the lip of a silverplate bowl. It's not fun, but it works. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> When manufacturers name a machine "Gift" it's not descriptive of all the items which can be engraved, which aren't gift-related.<br /> <br /> I've always preferred versatility, over table size.<br /> <br /> Sounds as if you're in a position to make people forget Things Remembered.<br /> <br /> Good luck. <hr /><a name="a1550_14"></a><p><b>From: rich (RICHD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1550.14">#14</a>]<br /> 2 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1550.1">#1</a>] 2 Jan 2007</p> <p>David,<br /> I know this is an older post but just wanted to let you know how helpful all the photos were/(are). I'm looking forward to trying my hand at this soon.</p> <p>I mostly want to be able to mark dials and degree wheels for the home shop tools/accessories I frequently make. I've done a bit of circular dividing on the lathe and milling machine so the pantograph should broaden my options.</p> <hr /><a name="a1550_15"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1550.15">#15</a>]<br /> 2 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: rich (RICHD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1550.14">#14</a>] 4 Jan 2007</p> <p>Rich,</p> <p>Nothing wrong with reviving an older post. :-)</p> <p>I enjoy doing the "PicTutorials", as I call them.</p> <p>If you (or others) have any specific pantograph procedure(s) in mind, I'd be happy to develop some along those lines.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 2 Jan 2007 by DGL</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1550.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1550.1">1-12</a>  13-15</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
