I decided to stop there and take a break from the project, so that I could drop off the forgings at a local engraving company to have some identifying information put on them. The shop foreman there was intrigued by what I was doing and he took me back and gave me a tour of the shop. COOL! He showed me how he would use his old German made engraving machine (Deckel?) to make the templates for my info, and how he transfers it to the work piece. He showed me how well the machine was balanced and how he could control the cutter with the tip of a finger on the stylus. An interesting day.
