Hi Everyone.
I've been engraving since 2012, 2013 got my own tools. Since then I have mostly been working on knives, many custom knives.
I am happy to work in Titanium, various Stainless steels, brass, bronze, copper, nickel silver.
I haven't worked in much gold and silver but am practicing, also teaching myself inlay and bulino at the moment.
Engraving on the blades is fine as long as I can do the work before it's heat treated, 440C and ATS34 are both very successful for that.
I try to give an accurate estimate of cost based on the subject and basically what's wanted and having done a sketch for the customer I have a good idea of what will be involved. I am not charging for artwork at the moment, (fairly basic artwork that is)... but clear enough to give the picture usually.
Thanks all
Questions definitely welcome.
Regards
Danae.
