Engraving a gift

Finally got around to making a fixture so as to engrave the handle for my son’s Driver (see: What did you cut on your Shapeoko/ Nomad today? - Gallery - Carbide 3D Community Site for details):

Hey Will,

Thanks for sharing, that is some awesome work! Hope you son liked it :slight_smile:

That’s a great community too, I’ve been looking at those little machines for a while now, they’d be great for some of our prototypes!

We’ve got a little Gravograph machine we use to engrave the Grips. I looked at engraving the handles of the Driver a little while ago, but because they have a small amount of preload on them when they’re off the driver, they were a bit of a pain to get level every time and would sit at random angles. I was thinking of making a leveling jig for them, but our machines a tad on the small size for that. Might be time for a Shapeoko upgrade!

A Nomad would probably also work well — you’d just need to make a fixture to hold things.

Prototypes sounds good! looking forward to your future projects!

Looks really good.
