    I’m quite new on here so thought I would post some pics of work I’ve done over the last couple of months.
    Feedback always helpful to keep my work up to scratch.

    Enjoy!! 😎

    I may have some more when I’m on my main pc.

    Sorry, just realised this is in the wrong place,feel free to move… 😳 😳

    some nice work there mate… thank you for taking the time to post your work.
    assuming you used a flatbed engraver or router for this, how did you do the bell?

    as way of constructive critisism, you should try and down scale your text/graphics by about 20% as they appear to need a bit of breathing space around them. isnt a issue with the kids rooms etc but feel the likes of the Planting Bed sign and house signs could do with a bit more space around the work.

    anyway, just my personal opinion, great stuff and thanks again for posting.

    Night Glow material is from the IPI range which I got from Identify Engraving.They have a samples book for this and there Rowmark range.

    I use a Mastergrave Universal Engraver which has a cylinder attatchment for rotary work. It was solid brass so I cut it to a depth of 0.3mm and filled with cellulose paint, then lightly polished with a polishing mop to take away the sharp edges and give it the worn in look.
