signing bowls with laser

NSK is a brand of rotary engravers. Engravers are pricey compared to pyrography pens, but as Ted says, the good ones glide through the grain changes without the bumps and thickened line that you sometimes get with pyrography. Consistent depth can require some practice.

Interesting. Thank you. I will check them out.

I created a graphic and tested it with my target customers. It is super cute and always makes them smile.

What, no picture?!!!
Top secret?, on the witness protection program?, stealth graphic?, protected from copying by all of us with no creativity?

Ha! Very funny. Not like that. I tend to be a bit of shy artsy person and the logo is just my own personal story that has meaning to me. I think that is all that matters, not that others like it or dislike it. OK, here goes (I am leaning way out for me - I might regret this). 1. As a boy I always loved the book "Harold and the Purple Crayon"; the artwork and its message: Personal fortitude, grit and resilience are important - you are what you believe. The drawings of Harold are the main inspiration. 2. Nothing interesting in my life has happened without my wife's support behind me and her inspiration and we live on her named Bunny Brook Farm. 3. I have this ridiculous chill and friendly cat that loves to hang out with me in the shop. Always watching and interested. He loves to sit in one of those big funnel bowls that I made for him. One day a lady suggested I should put this logo I had on my card on the bowl. So I did with a few and then it became a thing.

I have NEVER even heard of that book, and I've kept a lot of kids books here. I just ordered a copy from Amazon - Have to know about these things.

I love the graphic, simple, effective use of positive and negative space. You can't look at it without wondering about the story behind. What captured the attention of the two? The cat, not falling for that, looking wide-eyed directly at the viewer really makes it!

Ok, career change suggestion: logo design! I want mine with a grazing horse and an alert llama.

Michael I should have mentioned it’s a pneumatic dental type tool that spins at 320,000 rpm’s. Check out Treeline USA.

Treeline USA.

Rats, something else to buy. I'd like to try my hand at piercing and be just like Sammy and Ted when I grow up.

What shaft diameter(s) does it use? I see different sizes on the Treeline website but can't see where they say what fits the NSK. I have a micromotor and a bunch of bits/burrs - will some fit the NSK?
