    Study for sterling silver iPhone 16 Pro Max case

    Was feeling a bit rusty, and thought I’d get some practice and try out some ideas. Stylistically this is sort of a mixed bag, and there are some obvious elbows and flat spots, but overall I was pretty pleased with it. Thoughts, impressions, suggestions welcome.

    Have an old GMT Master I've owned since it was new in '78. Still runs (more or less) but needs a new stem and complete servicing. Any recommendations for reasonably priced Rolex mechanical work from the experts here on the forum?

    What's your favorite 1911 to engrave?

    Currently working a pattern for a 5" Springfield Armory 1911, and finding the factory logos and text on the slide a bit inconvenient and disruptive for good design flow.

    Stuff we listen to while we're engraving.

    Need A Better Microscope!!!

    Just Finished Sam’s Intensive IPad Design and Engraving Class

    A quick shoutout and big ”Thank You!” to Sam, and my classmates at Sam’s most recent IPad Design class. The instruction was top notch, the crew was great, we had a lot of fun, and every day felt like a breakthrough.
