Engraving on a cruise for Bacardi

My most recent engraving event was for Bacardi on the brand new Cunard Queen Anne, cruising from Southampton around the Norwegian Fjords and back. Contact me if you require my engraving services, on bottles of alcohol or perfume, on water or dry land.... lespyke@live.co.uk

It has been a while!! ...and my website is down again!

 Well life has zoomed by and I am now revisiting my blog simply because I am so tired of the troubles and costs of a website. It is down at the moment as the host has migrated or something along those lines....and I have some gobbldegook instructions of what I am supposed to do, which I do NOT understand.

How important is a website these day I wonder?

Anyway, my Patreon teaching channel is still going strong and I make and post 3 videos every month. It is hard graft but I really enjoy it.  Patreon have added a new feature now and that is to be able to sell a post. SO...my first trial of this is to offer the two videos below. They are subjects that stump lots of new engravers. They are $3 each. Of course if you wait for 7+ months I may release them to the public on my YouTube channel  as I do most of my engraving videos. Your choice.

I took a break last week to go on our annual golf tour with several friends donw in Devon, Ashbury Manor. Absolutely wonderful as always!

This year I was delighted  and honoured to once again be asked to engrave the trophies for the Heveningham Concours. A wonderful event with a spread of spectacular cars and planes.

 

 

I have had several teaching sessions of the most basic form of glass engraving to people who have never engraved glass before. Within an hour each had successfully engraved a small coaster or drinking glass. So much fun!!

Lots of the usual types of engraving orders simple sandblasting and also the more complex hand engraving.

 

I have also been laser engraving this year (NOT GLASS!!!!!!!!!) It has been a lot of fun experimenting on various materials, wood, leather, slate and even denim!

I was sent the XTOOL M1   in exchange for a couple of videos.
