no doubt the computer saves a lot of time. but, there are times when transfers (at least for me) are too time consuming.
i began drawing oversized, and then scanning the main part of the design. resizing in corel, then making a transfer.
blimey ! several years ago i used it to hold a piece of gold jewelry to work on. needless to say that was a disastrous mistake. it ate the gold that was in contact with the metal. istill have the crap in a small salve tin. not sure if it was cerro, or not. i bought it at msc years and years ago.
yeah, i forgot to mention the bay claims it engraves rings. i don't see how that could happen. i'm dang near tempted to buy the thing just to see what it is.
picture perfect, if you ask me. i'm not sure anyone could ever top that. congratulations for you are in order, lee.
btw-- tomatoes are no longer used. cabbage instead.
now that you have all the toys, better set them aside for a day or two.; get yerself a good pencil. you will need it. learning to draw is as important as an arsenal of tools. good luck to you in your endeavor.
i use the cirelli "sauce" with an hp deskjet 5440. it works nicely with just the # 92 black. it's dedicated to transfers, and very little else. a cartridge lasts forever.
i think that's what my hamster radiopals call them. they are much larger and possum ugly. i know 2 guys who can communicate with them about as fast as one can type on a keyboard. like anything, practice gets one there.
i dont reconize this as a telegraph key. looks like none i've ever seen. all i've seen were rather clumsy lookin contraptions in comparison.very classy work imho tyvm for showing.
my first "power toy" was the magnagraver. it was a very well made tool. like all tools, it's really the hand that guides it. it was a very minor thing, but i ended up selling mine; i never mounted it properly and didn't like the slight drag the flex shaft imparted to my hand. had i mounted it...
