Custom Glass Engraved Display Bases

[jrmullens1]

Hi Everybody

I'm a new member here. Glad to join. Another of my hobbies beside model building is Custom Glass Engraving. I can make a custom display base of any subject matter. I have given pieces to Richard Petty and John Force and they have put them on display in their museums. If this sounds like something you maybe interested in, please contact me. jrsautografx@verizon.net, we can discuss subject matter and prices. My prices are very reasonable for the service. I'll try to get some pictures scanned to display. I hope to hear back.

Happy Modelling

Hi George and Mr Biggs

Thanks for your interest. To answer your questions.

1:) I can go pretty small with the engravings, for instance i put a lot of details in a feather if I'm engraving a bird, you can pick out every feather.

2:) I've never tried to engrave clear plastic. I use a dremel tool with diamond/carbide tip spinning at about 10,000 rpm. It builds up some heat, so i'm thinking it may melt plastic.

I engrave almost any glass, beer mugs, shot glasses, flat pieces of glass, and car windows, except windhields. I prefer stuff with a little thickness or temper to it. I did a 3/4 view of a 69 Chevelle on a beer mug, you could pick out every tube in the grill and tread in the tire. One of my upcoming projects is a 3 page spread of a bikini girl on a stereo cabinet door. With the engravings I do, if you put a piece of black paper behind them they really pop, so they should look good as a base for a model. I can even put color in the engravings which looks really cool.

Thanks again

Hi Gramps

Talking to misplaced Mountaineer here.

Born in Charleston, my Dad was from a little town called Craigsville, near Richwood and Summersville.

God's country. Love it, miss it, can't wait to go back.

BTW, I saw some of your airbrush work, very impressive. I do T-shirts myself.
