Lindsay's focus seems to be elsewhere lately. Every once in a while, some palmcontrol vises are up for sale. They always end up being sold as an auction on his instagram page though. Highest bidders get the few available. Have't seen the goliath up for sale for a while though
Aliexpress...luer connectors. They are normally used for iv's. Simply measure the size you need in mm. They sell them by packs of 10 I believe for a few dollars
Here is a knife I engraved for MT customs, a knifemaker from The Netherlands. All grade 5 titanium parts, 24k inlay. The grade 5 is a real pain, so I am pretty happy with the outcome.
Feel free to rip it apart if you feel there is something I could have done either different or better.

Both the Brother I use at work and the one at home work fine thankfully. Both on original toner cartidges aswell...but only when not using straight acetone...
I always thought that inkjet transfers are not transferred with acetone? The laser printer transfer need the acetone, in which case I have found the 100% acetone doesn't transfer as good as the nailpolish remover.

I have never tried inkjet transfers, so I wouldn't have a clue on that matter
Your regular preferred method for transferring. Personally I like the laserprint with nail polish remover(with acetone) method. Straight acetone doesn't work for me. Sometimes on silver or stainless(when it has a high polish for instance) this method will not work very wel or at all. In those...
If all fails...I make a "normal" transfer to mild steel. Then simply take a wax transfer from those cuts. Scribe it and get cracking.
It is more work, but also makes a nice excuse for a practice run of your lines, hahaha.
I am self taught, if that is still possible, with the internet and all. Youtube and some of Mr. Alfano's dvd's...and some good people here and there pointing me in the right direction. Along the way, I have tried to listen to any advice I have been given(tried...not always succeeded).
