    Duplicating engraving question

    i'd take a foto of it. transfer the foto to my software program, eliminate the background, then size to fit. print multiples as needed. then simple transfer methods will do the trick. that's how i would do this. others may have a better method..

    Playing card back design by Sam

    a woman on the forum once mentioned that's there's nothing left to design. hmmm . i offer an unsolicited critique--- you need at least one centerfold in the deck. other than that, a perfect project for the eye.

    GRS has changed…

    grs is (or was) the very best company i have dealt with. from the days john rohner answered the phone till the last time i contacted them, may be a year ago. i pray this is a temporary 'glitch". sadly, most small businesses get eaten alive by the larger fish. hope it''s not the case here.

    20 years >40 years

    tyvm, scott. this is like an ongoing history and a glimpse into the future of engraving. early on, many were very helpful and inspiring to me. how does one give thanks for so many years of rewarding work ? the only answer is to assist as many as we can to continue this art form.

    Wriggle Cut

    i used the "wiggle", i hate the word "wriggle" very effectively on quite a few buckles. the cut can provide a bit of interest on low end work. can provide nice profit without sendin a bloke to the poorhouse
