What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

Really?

 

[David Mary]

Good. But why is tech so unpredictable? I made no changes to my settings at all.

Almost forgot to show you what's next to the shop now:

Ummm, that is one of the more awkward and rather unsafe chainsaw positions I have seen recently ! LOL

I like that mid sized knife.

Bill I told him what you said and his reply was "that's probably accurate".

Those knives look great and I love the unique colored handles. Very nice!

 

[David Mary]

Thank you. Color combo and handle texture was selected by the gentleman who ordered them.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what was so bad?
I consider myself very safe, and I do Way worse

Crag the Brewer your first etch you emailed me looked good. I dc then ac using this:



Then I clean up the etch on fine scotchbrite.

I clean then stencil by rubbing the metal off gently with my thumb and forefinger dipped in water.

Clean the brass applicator often.

Thank you....
Any worries or means of keeping bleed through, or seepage?
Do you wash, clean the stencil after every knife?

I cut the first stencil too close to it's shape. I thought I needed to tape it down, and mask it off.

Idk if my amperage was too strong? But I've been now getting the masking lines showing up on my blade. What's funny is that I didn't get it on the first one.

I can send another pic if I'm not being clear?

Just salt water really worked good though, I was surprised.
I wonder if etchent is better?

Should the bar tip contact anything he's directly in the line of the kickback.

 

[David Mary]

Just did this one.

Yes. Leave lots of bleed area. Tape everything but the design with painters tape. Don't let any liquid get underneath it. Dry everything extremely well before you etch. I know your pain, believe me I do.

True.... I kinda lean left slightly. I'm kinda pretty, and I wanna stay that way.
