My first engraving

[Slug Toy]

impressive. thats all i can say.

they have metal engraving tools other than lasers too. its like giving sheet metal a tattoo, without ink. i used one of them to engrave a ring once. it gets you good results too, and you can probably control the "shading" better than a dremel. i dont know if you can do steel, but i know you can do aluminum and copper.

but anyways... that silver on black really does it for me. ive always like silver on black.

Well, I've done a little bit more.

I'm only going to engrave another desing to the side panels, in the bottom I'll "write" phrases from the Apocalypse with the font used in Diablo game. One in each panel (left and right respectively):

et vidi angelum descendentem de caelo habentem clavem abyssi et catenam magnam in manu sua
et adprehendit draconem serpentem antiquum qui est diabolus et Satanas et ligavit eum per annos mille

In the front I'll use the same mesh of the case to create a cover for the optical drive, but it's only the first thing. Any idea/question/opinion will be wellcome

OK, I've finished the left pannel. Some pics now and tomorrow I'll do the right pannel if I have time.

Wow .

Nice work you skill is excellent. What tools do you use to engrave so well. I bet you have been practicing for a long time though.

You definitely have a knack for engraving. Keep doing it. Fantastic picture.

[Slug Toy]

alright... that does it... this has inspired me to do something with engraving when i decide to start my own case project. i just need an idea to work with, and an actual physical case too... that would help a lot.

[Kenny_McCormick]

Done, finished both sidepanels here some pics

And the next target: the front (ideas?)

PD: A friend of mine has the same case and told me to do some "Hellboy" engraving, I think I'll accept the offer ^^

To gaz_the_chav: no shipping at the moment sorry
To simon275: Dremel and 105 bit. No practicing before, as the title says it's my first engraving.
To DaveW and SnowFire: very human precision, see 2nd picture.
To Slug Toy: glad to inspire you, it's my first engraving but I'll do some more if I can.
To all: thanks for your comments, and any ideas for the rest of the case?
