Does anyone know of any engravers around, that do reasonably small stuff?
I'm looking at getting the back end of one of my airbrushes ( about the size of a fountain pen body) engraved with some classic floral scroll work, so any pointers to who to use would be greatly appreciated!!

It`s a shame Mr Bloxidge is no longer with us, he was old enough when I met him in the 80`s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZDu31PWBc4 |

A mate of mine had a brass face done for the speedo on his Triumph chop years ago. Jeanette engraved it with roman numerals. Nice job. Worth a phone call. Mention Gary Merritt's bike & see if she remembers him, (a bit of a "character").

I have been using the CNC as an engraver but it cant do cylinders which is a shame, also having a job getting engraving cutters for it. Have done some flat engraving using a 1mm milling bit which is ok but quite large.
Will keep practicing and maybe get the 4th axis sorted so I can do cylinders.
