I was invited to Shanna Morans home and shop last night and it was great, Shanna, You lucky Beast! I was totally impressed with Shannas new Dulin-Hawk Hand Engraving Platform. WOW! As I was leaving last night I couldnt help but think of how much more time I could spend at the bench with one of these, than I can right now with my current set up. Some of you guys know about my nine back surgeries and Im also having problems with my neck so my time at the bench is very limited. Anyway, setting at this thing was amazing!!!!! It was hard for me to get into my mind what Shanna was telling me before when she tried to explain it to me but sitting at it made all the difference in the world. And the way it can be made to order if some one wants their GraverMax or whichever machine theyre using in a different area say for engraving rifles or shotguns and dont want to take the barrels of or if someone is mostly engraving on big items such as heads or jugs for a motorcycle engine or bells the table can be set up totally different with the same great ergonomics.
Im not in the engraving for the money like so many of you guys are. Im not saying Im going to do it for free! If Im going to spend time out in my shop away from my beautiful wife and great kids and grandkids Im gonna get paid for it. Now I love to engrave and make knives, I have a passion for it. When Mommas in bed and the kids have all gone home, Pa Pa can go outside and play. Ive been limited at the bench to an hour, maybe I can get an hour & a half before Im hurting so bad Ive got to go in & lay down in my recliner for a spell, now Im not complaining, just stating facts, God has blessed me and Ive done pretty much anything Ive wanted to do for that past 10 yrs since my last surgery but I still cant sit at my bench as long as I would like to. Now from the stand point of making a living where other engravers are, If a man or woman has like problems with their neck and back and are limited on there time spent at the bench, You gotta check this baby out! I can truly see where Ill be able to spend 3 to 4 times longer at a sitting than in my current set up. Man! What kind of productivity are you talking about? You know how much you charge an hour for your work and thats your business but what Im saying is if youre charging $50 an hour for instance and you can work two hours before you start hurting so you quit for a while, youve made a $100, but if you can work six hours youve made $300 bucks, that speaks for itself! Im excited about this thing. I truly wish all of you guys could sit at this thing and play with it. There a lever under the table that you push and No effort at all with your knee you can raise or lower the table up and your work just magically comes into focus. The way it can be set up for any scope and just customized for any different type of engraving is truly amazing. It was set for Shanna, shed been working on a piece and when I came over and sat down at it I put something in the vise that was at a different height and we being different heights ourselves, everything needed to be changed to accommodate me, it literally took maybe a minute and a half to two minutes before I was cutting. Now to me that is Awesome. I love it! Its the neatest thing since peanut butter in my opinion! The design and execution of this workspace is top shelf, I welded in the oil field for 14 yrs and was certified for eighteen different oil and gas companies. I know what quality work, looks like and this is quality work, there are so many things that you dont see until you sit at this thing and really take it all in, it has adjustable rubber feet so it can be adjusted anywhere you put and be level, the rubber feet and the beefyness of this thing makes vibration non existent. You would think because of the scope being mounted to the same thing the vise is mound to youd have some vibration, Not there! Im in love with this thing, I can build anything I want to build and I pride myself on putting out the very best possible, I literally cannot see anything on this thing that needs to be improved on, maybe altered for different applications but not improved. It truly is a work of art. Ive included some pictures, wish there were some of out in the middle of the floor so we could get some 360 degree shots of it, maybe in the near future. Dwayne

and the chairs hold up extremely well, they come with a 7 yr Intensive Use Warranty. They run about $900.00. I'm going to get one to go with my new Dulin-Hawk Hand Engraving Platform
