Beautiful work. What are you doing the engraving on? I am looking for something to fill that gap....

I had that same follow up question....
I wonder, if I ever finish the G0704 CNC conversion, if I can use it for these kind of engravings as well...

I'm using a G0704 conversion, with a diamond drag tool.
A CNC router could do this job with no trouble. Dragging the tool through cured cerakote was no prob at all.

Really nice shop! Envious of the large clear space. Where do you put stuff away?After 8 years of upgrading every time I got bored, or got a good tax return, there's not much G0704 left in it anymore. It's on the right side in this pic.

The black Husky toolbox next to the CNC, the DeWalt toolbox, and lots of wall mounted cabinets and pegboards.. the Husky holds a surprising amount of stuff, including my 4 jaw, 6 jaw, 3 jaw, rotary table, taper attachment. I was pleasantly surprised when I started loading it with tooling.
And I love my steel pegboards.

Good lord I'm envious of that shop space. I've got a garage space about the same size, but with a family of four and 3 motorbikes, I had to squeeze to make space for my lathe. One day I'll have my own separate workshop space...
