Keep Calm...harmless laser etching :)

#1

Post by OldCannon »

I decided to do something a little different. I made a special laser etch for a lower that has a touch of Brit and Texas in it :mrgreen:

The postage cardboard is my low-budget jig that keeps the lower correctly leveled/aligned for the etching.

Sadly, that's true! My wife says I need to get a day job again. I love what I'm able to do at the TechShop (http://techshop.ws/austin_round_rock.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), but I need to pay bills, and I'm not making enough $$ as a firearms dealer to keep paying the bills :cryin

That does look like some nice work. Nothing too fancy yet, but real solid clean work. :tiphat:

Thanks, I'm going to have to put some popular designs together (American Flag, Gonzales Flag, Gasden, etc.) and start offering it as a service.

What form does the art need to be in to etch it?

They have to be in vector formats to work best. I use Adobe Illustrator to do the preprocessing. The Gonzales Flag cannon and star were used from a public domain SVG file.

Yeah that's pretty awesome. You should definitely put that service together. I'd like "DON'T PANIC" in big yellow letters!
