wooly Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) First time for me trying to engrave glass with my Dremel. I have NO clue what I'm doing, but I think it turned out alright for making it up as I go. It looks better the further away you stand from it,lol Anyone else here ever try this before?

sethf11 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Looks awesome. Since custom work that would be awesome with someone's harvest photo or favorite hunting photo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philoshop Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'm impressed, my friend. Very nice artwork! I wish I could have found all those dental burrs for you, but I've run out of places to look. 7 minutes ago, wooly said: I like that idea! I may try that once I figure a few things out. Small vignettes in the corner of a piece of glass covering a treasured photograph would be very cool. Great idea, sethf11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACC Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'm very impressed, think it looks great.No way I have the time or patience for something like that. Sent from my SM-G900T3 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 That's pretty dang good for a first try. Looks like you even have some shading and different line weights. Awesome work!Never tried glass but gave wood burning a shot when I was younger.Sent from my XT830C using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I shouldn't be surprised that your first glass etching would come out beautiful!!! Man, the art you create with your endless talent is tuly remarkable. Seems like anything you put your paws on, comes out so cool. If by chance I'm lucky enough to kill a deer this year, or my grandson kills his first. I'll take a bunch of pictures, send them to you, and have you etch one for us. I'll be honored to have such a keepsake. Whatever $ you charge will be more than worth it! It would be like geting two trophies! Your artwork, and mine or my grandsons deer. I've had so many people comment on the antler cross my friend. Wear it every day. It's still putting out and receiving the good vibes, more than ever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT830C using Tapatalk The shading of the diamond burr lines is one of the things I can't seem to figure out yet. I guess there's some other blending tips I need to get before I can pull that off the way I want to. Other than a few obvious goofs this time, I'll eventually get the hang of it by asking lots of smarter people any stupid questions I have,lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a few obvious goofs this time, I'll eventually get the hang of it by asking lots of smarter people any stupid questions I have,lolJust a tip. To get a grasp on shading and blending, use a pencil on paper. Lift the pencil from full pressure to no pressure on one stroke. This will make the pencil go from dark to light. Plenty of tutorials out there. Sent from my XT830C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT830C using Tapatalk The shading is easy to figure out on glass when the picture is taped to the other side and you're tracing it. It's all about having the right bits, brains, and technique to accomplish it now..... all 3 of which I'm still lacking ,lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Just no end to your vision and talent...once again awesome job..You should team up with Amish furnature makers doing custom glass for guys gun cabinets..etching from a picture of a "trophy" the buyer killed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult to do with a dremel or any type of hand tool. Good Job 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkeyfeathers Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Sweeeeeeeet is only word I can come up with. Great work as always. Do you ever scrap any attempts and not show us or simply ace every one ? Crazy as every new style or medium you use looks like you've been doing it for years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I screw up a lot, but since I'm not much of a perfectionist, and don't do this for a living, I just try to correct them as best I can and make some adjustments on my next piece. For me all this stuff just occupies my mind and I get more satisfaction out of the patience training than anything else. That's been the most valuable benefit for me lately. If I only showed off perfection, I would never have anything to share. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdwaz Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Man that is a cool looking piece Matt............You ever think of getting into the tattoo business?!?! On a different but related note, do you have any use for a cigar box of spike horns? They are from my old buddy who passed away a few years ago. Back in the old days, many a spiker fell to his weapons. Maybe you could craft something out of them?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
