- Gun Slide Engraving | Tattered American Flag Design
Hello everyone, welcome to my channel “Triado Custom Engraving”. In this video I will show you my process on how to engrave tattered American flag design on to Glock 19 Gen 4 Slide. I will also go over some tips and tricks when it comes to creating a template and transfer it over to the Glock slide.
This is my first time engraving a gun part so I wasn't sure what to expect out of this. Luckily I have some experience engraving knife blades so it was essentially the same thing, maybe a little harder. As long as you use the right tools you can achieve anything!
As always, I appreciate everyone’s support!

First time engraving a slide, also first time engraving a weapon. Have you tried engraving anything similar to this? What are your experiences?
I hand engrave guns and knives daily with a Lindsay Classic Airgraver pneumatic system. Take some cheap flat white spray paint, and paint the whole slide. Your carbon paper tracing will show up a lot better. I use transfer tape(sign makers use it for vinyl signs) to get the guns outlines. Then lay that flat on a piece of paper and scan it.
Now I have a physical copy, and digital copy. I then use Adobe Illustrator(get Inkscape software for free online, it's basically the same thing). Once I have my design done, I print it out on my HP inkjet printer that uses #61 ink(the ink numbers are very important. #60, 61, and 65 are all proven to make great transfers) onto Pictorico Premium Overhead Transparency film.
Then using a thin film of a mixture of pine rosin and alcohol transfer fluid on the metal(transfer fluid is sticky and pulls the ink off the transfer film), tape your transfer film to the part you want it on, and lightly burnish the back of the film. Peel it off, and start engraving.
If you're not already a member, join the Facebook group called "Hand Engraving for All". Lots of tips and tricks there, and people to answer questions. There's also some folks there that will help you build a pneumatic or electric engraving system if you want one.
@@chuckburroughs6427 Hey Chuck, thank you very much for taking your time to explain this! The process is very interesting, I’ll have to look in to it. My main request to engrave is stainless steel cups, so other than this job I haven’t had much experience. A lot of people have asked about protecting the engraving once you’re finished with the piece. I was thinking maybe clear coat of some sort but that may take away the shine. I would love to get in to pneumatic engraving, it’s definitely on my radar, I just need more time and money.
The finish on a Glock slide is basically a form of parkerizing. Many people think the "melonite" or "tennifer" is the finish. Melonite/tennifer is a heat treat process that makes the slides so hard and tough. I'd just use some type of cold bluing solution like Birchwood Casey that you can get at Walmart. After that's done, oil it up real good for a couple of hours to neutralize the bluing chemicals, then clean the oil out. If you really want to highlight the engraving, you could try a Bonanza Gold Fill kit. It's very easy to do. I think they also offer it in silver.
@@chuckburroughs6427 Hey Chuck, thanks again for your reply. Wouldn’t cold bluing darken the engraving? Also what type of oil do you recommend using? I bought some Super Blue a while back to maybe do axe head engraving, it looked super dark in one of the videos that I watched here. Do you have a channel here? If you don’t you should definitely look in to starting one, I’m sure people would appreciate your talent. I’m just a dude who tries to engrave different things with what I have haha.
Yep, the super blue will darken the engraving so it doesn't rust. Any gun oil will work to neutralize the bluing chemical. That's why I mentioned the Bonanza Gold fill kit to highlight the engraving. I don't really want a UA-cam channel. It doesn't pay enough for the time involved. If people want to learn real hand engraving, there are a lot of classes available.
Engraver here... As I get older, I've started to rely more on a fiber laser to do my outlines and layout. Even with a buzz box engraver I can get a little off sometimes. I can't imagine being that accurate and stable with a rotary. Not to mention, I use a 400,000 rpm rotary and my guess is yours is 80k or so. That makes a HUGE difference in the difficulty. I hope people can understand the level of skill and concentration it takes to do what you do. Very impressive work!!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Derek means a lot! I was running at 35k haha 🤣. Although it’s not the first time people told me that I have a steady hand, I’ve always been an artist here and there so maybe I got it from that. Having some kind of support under your arm helps a lot.
I really love this comment. As someone with a ton of rotary engraving experience (currently doing custom barber clippers) I'm finally about to jump into guns and knives but I'm not gonna lie I'm a little nervous about the hate I know I'm gonna get from the traditional scroll/turntable guys as my style is alot different and I know the OG guys are gonna talk mad shit lol. I don't care tho, traditional has never been my style. The standard filagree stuff is beautiful but played out in my opinion and frankly it takes just as much if not more patience and skill to do letters, logos, etc with no turntable and no lasers. My setup is primitive. I am really looking forward to getting a real professional rotary machine at some point tho. Theres so many tho it's hard to know what's what. Anyway let me shutup and finish watching the video lol. I can tell from the thumbnail you did an amazing job and it's more in line with how I do it as opposed to most of the scroll style videos I see commonly. I call this style lowrider/freestyle and it's alot more about the skills than the tools when it comes to this style. I've made many masterpieces with literally a vinyl cutter and a $30 knockoff dremel so I can't wait to see what I'll do with a pro setup. But thank you for this comment, you just motivated TF outta me! Custom guns here I come!!
@@BrandinoTheGod When you look at a beautiful sunrise, you marvel at the vison, not the physics or how its created. If ANYONE gives you flak about your work, just know it's only in pure ignorance. Beauty never minds how it got there... It just "is". If you do great work, it stands on it's own. Would love to see it. And if someone says it's not "traditional;", tell them innovation never is.... Then ask them what they've created? LOL...
Get to it and love what you do. That's where the magic is.
As a tool & die maker, I used Diatech diamond burrs. They have a great selection of shapes, sizes, grits, & more. I used them for careful deburring on 64Rc hardened tool steel. FREE
Pretty cool, maybe I’ll give them a try when I have time for engraving again 🤙🏻
Nice job, looks cool as hell.... Jason Statham lol
Haha thanks Matt!
So far the best video I’ve found on this. Thank you.
Thank you AyoLue!
Great look on that piece . ART IS LIFE
Thank you!
A confidence level of 1,000 makes everything possible! 😂
Haha right!
Thank you for the content my good sir! I never thought about using a dremel
Thank you for watching, Dremel is an awesome tool for sure!
I was looking for a video and when I saw your slide I knew this was exactly what I needed to see
Thanks Nicholas!
That turned out great!! I like the texturing that last burr made.
Thanks David!
Thx for making a video. Now I can engrave my slide.. awesome.
Thanks for watching Manuel. Good luck with your slide engraving!
thank you so much!
Thank you for watching!
Nice man..I learned so much thanks for your teachings and knowledge brother!
Thank you man! Glad that you found this helpful 🤙🏻
Awesome video man! Fantastic quality!
Thank you brother, learning from the best! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
TC thats wicked awesome
Thank you
Great work again my friend, your videos are always helpful and brilliant to watch 🙌🏻
Thank you friend!
pretty good work. love it
Thanks bigrod!
Really nice. I print or draw my designs on full sheet label paper and stick it onto the piece. I then engrave along the lines with my dremel through the paper. Once your lines are traced I just peel the paper off, clean the sticky off with mineral oil. Then do the depth work. Look at diamond grit bits, the results are smoother than carbide.
Thanks Nekura! I’ll have to check them out. I used some diamond bits in the past and they always burn out quick. Maybe the ones that you’re talking about are better. Merry Christmas!
Awesome work!!!
Thanks Casey!🤙🏻
looks good for first time. I too first time but on wood grip didn't think of carbon paper though great idea I will use that next project. good video thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thanks NDN! Yeah carbon paper is good, sometimes I just stick the paper on to the surface and engrave through the paper.
Whoa that is friggn kool🔥🔥🔥💥
Thank you buzzman!
Amazing!
Thank you Bruce!
That was nice work!
Thanks Antonio!
Excellent work, my friend.
Thinking of doing some custom work on my Ruger Lc9s.
I am going to strip it down of the old blueing today and wanted to possibly dive into doing something with my dremel once I've reblued and cured.
Thanks for the video! Really phenomenal work you did here.
Thank you very much! It’s a lot of work but pays in the end having one of a kind piece. I would love to learn how to do blueing, any specific product that you use or they all work the same? I want to try it on axes maybe.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving I'm using Birchwood Casey brand. They have an entire kit you can pick up at a gun store. I would call ahead though and make sure they carry.
Kit comes with "Blue and Rust Remover," The "Cleaner/Degreaser," and there "Perma-Blue" product. $20.00 and tax. Steel wool, directions, all the works.
You can get everything separate and choose Perma or Super Blue.
Theres a few good videos you can search up that dive into the differences between them, and how to properly handle and apply them.
So far ive blued a handgun that wasn't blued at all, for a buddy of mine, a few of my hand tools, and soon here, my Ruger Lc9s.
Excellent results for me, every time. Not familiar with any other brands, currently. Birchwood Casey is trusted and used by many.
I'm think you'll really enjoy the results you can achieve with it.
Really enjoy the dremel work!
Wood, metal, glass, stone. Dremels are a blast.
So far can only find your handgun slide for exactly what I was driving for!
@@dwainetyncompany That’s awesome, I’ll have to check it out! Thank you for sharing your info on this. Dremel is definitely a great tool to have, that’s why I have two of them...haha. My Foredom Micromotor is great because it doesn’t have the flex shaft and it’s not loud. There are no vibrations, which could be annoying while using the Dremel “giving you that springy feeling in your hand” although it cannot produce the torque that my Dremel 4000 can do, so I use both.
This is beautiful
Thank you very much!
Great job
Thank you!
Looks awesome Max! Great job bro.
Thank you brother! 🍻
Great work man! 👍🏼
Thanks Michael! 🤙🏻
Legit work.
Thank you very much!
That’s pretty sick man...nice job! 🤙🇺🇸👍
Thank you Collin!
NICE DUDE!
Thanks my dude! 🤙🏻
Very nice work!
Thank you Red!
this guy is on another level
Thank you! 🤙🏻
great job
Thank you!
This honestly gives me the confidence to think that maybe I could do this! That looks amazing! :D
Haha thanks! This was my one and only project like this. I do need to learn how to protect guns afterwards…possibly cerakote to protect bare metal.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving Yeah, I think a clear cerakote would probably do the trick! I’ve also heard some oldtimers coat down their bare steel guns in linseed oil and that seems to work well for them.
@@Sanguivore Nice, I wonder if you have to reapply it after certain amount of time.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving I think once every 3 months, and after every firing/cleaning. But that’s just what I’ve seen others say as I don’t have experience myself yet.
@@Sanguivore Gotcha, cerakote would probably be a better choice for long run
It looks good bro
Thank you!
Nice Work enjoyed watching
Thank you Brian!
Good job!! Something you might think about is inside the deeper cuts such as the lettering, you might could switch back to the bit you did your first outline with and that less aggressive one would further smooth out those cuts. Really nice job and great technique doing the transfer!
Thank you! Yeah this was one of a kind projects and I definitely need more practice before I do my second one haha. Thanks for the pointers!
gran trabajo man sigue asi
muchas gracias
That’s a villains gun!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤠
Haha thanks!
Great job!
Thanks Glenn!
@@TriadoCustomEngraving You are welcome, and thank you for your service in the military. Because of men like you I can enjoy the freedoms of this great country. God bless you!
Thank you for your support and kind words!
Wow!!!! Came out really nice.. I wish though we could have seeen the outcome a little longer. I kept rewinding to get a good look.:)
Haha thanks! I got pictures of it on my IG
havent tried it on metal yet.
i do glock stippling and use a dremel for recessed lines/borders and clean out the surfaces on the frames.
i like how gentle you can work on metal tho...one false move or too much pressure on polymer and the bit bites into the material and takes off 😄
but i think i could do graphs on slides too....but thats a different play.
Nice! Yeah metal can be tough to deal with as well. Gun slide metal is pretty tough so you’ll have to use tungsten carbide to be able to engrave anything on it, otherwise you’ll be scratching it. Not all tungsten carbide burs are created equal so I would do some research. I used one bit that I bought online that since got discontinued lol.
Cool
Thanks
careful using the adjustable chuck. I used one for a while until 9ne day I had a fluted carbide cutter come flying out of it. I switched back to collets after that, lol.
Yeah I pay attention on how much it sticks out and constantly adjust it. Maybe if I upgrade to a Chuck system like the foredom rotary it would hold the burs better. Although foredom flex shaft is a bit slower in rpm.
Hey there great work!! What did you dip the tip in? Looked like you dipped the drummel tip in a solution of some sort. Kind of curious. Thankyou for all the knowledge.
Thanks Nicholas! I use pro-cut lubricant, it prolongs the life of the bur and it also lets the bur cut better.
Try using a diamond burr. They works much better on slides, parkerized metal and bolts.
Hey Chris thanks for the tip. I’ve used Diamond burs on stainless cups and they last just about a few minutes haha. What type of burs are you using and how long do they last?
@@TriadoCustomEngraving on guns I use à NSK hand-piece at 35psi with #1-#6 diamond burrs. The carbide barely makes a scratch and is very frustrating. I get the diamond burrs for about $10 a piece. After engraving a gun, I’ll save the used burrs for softer metals like copper and silver….bone and wood.
@@chrisgrunch7055Thanks Chris that’s good to know. I would have to give it a try one day.
Love what you did. I would have put "The right to bear arms" on it!
Nice! Thanks for watching.
Very Nice Job...
Thank you!
@@TriadoCustomEngraving YW
Hey max. Stumbled upon your videos while searching for some transfer/design create tips and ideas. Love the work and talent. Would it be possible to see a how to video of how to use procreate and your methods designing.
Hey Jay, thank you man! Yeah Procreate video is definitely on my to do list. I’ve had multiple requests to make one. Since it’s not really about engraving I keep pushing it off. When I have more time I will definitely try to do one. There are plenty of Procreate tutorials on UA-cam that you can search for that will give you an idea of how to do line art. Best of luck!
@@TriadoCustomEngraving thanks man. Appreciate it.
At first I was like “I can do this” then as it went on I thought “I definitely can’t do this” lol
Haha trust me I thought the same thing 🤣
You are in your calling brother, glory to God! It’s an inspection.
How long have you been engraving?
Hey thank you man! I started engraving around 2018-2019, haven’t done it for too long but I love doing it as a hobby.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving it’s cool seeing your progress. I’m in the beginning of this journey, so I’m glad you’ve made these videos. Thanks for putting your wisdom out there for people
@@7th-MindsetThank you!
This is fantastic instructional information, I hope my design comes out so well. I'm concerned that removing the blueing from the steel exposes it to unnecessary wear. Would you recommend applying a cold blueing solution to the engraved material? Or paint?
Thanks Cole! It’s a good question which came up here a few times. Unfortunately this was my only piece that I engraved and it wasn’t mine. The owner said that he touched it up with some clear coat paint and called it good. Not sure how good it looks afterwards. Maybe an oil application can also be beneficial. If you apply blueing to the engraving it will turn it dark and you will not be able to see it. I’ll have to do more research and see what I can find.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving guess I could have read through the comments first, thank you for taking the time to awnser
Would you consider making that pattern downloadable or maybe sell it for a couple bucks? I’d love to try this on my glock 21. This design is so cool and I love the patriotism!
Pretty good idea, I’ve been thinking about selling some digital art. As far as design goes, since it’s very specific to the g19 I don’t think that it will be a good fit for your g21. But if you would like me to send it to you anyway send me an email. triado.custom.engraving@gmail.com
Do you put some sort of coating over the bare metal to prevent rust? I really want to get into this type of work!
Hello, this was done for a customer who ended up doing clear cerakote over the engraving. Something that I would like to learn in the future for sure.
Brother that was beautiful, I seen the laser version of engraving and by far hand crafted engraving looks better. I also seen where Artist grave gold wire and tap it in with a hammer then they sand the rest off, I think its call inlaying. I would love to have some of your work. I was very impressed. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you Jay!
I am looking to try engraving on my vape (box mod), and watching similar styled videos. I only have a hefty dremel tool, and I now am realizing that engraving is more like a mix of sketching / drawing and sanding mixed together in an interesting way. Gotta grab some cheap engraving tool for these fine lines I guess, or else the tip will run all over the metal instead on the outlines...
Nice video and great craftsmanship! I really appreciate that.
Hey thanks for watching. What type of Dremel do you have one of those hammer action ones with a needle point? It’s possible to engrave with those but it’s hard on your hand for sure. Rotary tool is the way to go, maybe upgrade to Dremel 3000 and use tungsten carbide burs on your vape. I’m guessing your vape is aluminum so it’s should be fairly easy to engrave.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving Thanks for the fast reply! I actually have a Cordless Parkside Dremel / rotary tool that's only 25000 rpm. It is a bit hefty, but has no hammer action. I probably need at least 50.000 rpm?
It's actually stainless steel, I believe it's gonna be hard enough, but not impossible. Thanks for your advice!
@@vapingnexus I usually have mine set around 25-30,000 rpm so you should be good to go! Stainless can be a paint in the butt since it’s a lot tougher than aluminum so you would want to use tungsten carbide burs for sure. Good luck with your project!
@@TriadoCustomEngraving Oh great, than I'm not too off with the rpm. I'll first try ot out on a blank piece of metal, and see how that goes first. Thanks a lot for your advice, I will update if I finish the project!
@@vapingnexus No problem, good luck!
Man I want mine done. How much? Love your work! Great job
Thanks Mike! Not taking any orders at the moment, maybe in a little while. Thanks for asking.
LOOKS AMAZING !! what were you dipping the burr into? (that white cream ) ... and also , what kind of price tag went into this project ? Maybe i will send you my slide . thanks !!
Thank you! I used cutting lube to help with cutting and it prevents premature bur wear. This was my first and only project so it’s hard to gauge how much it would be. I’d say around $150 or so, although I’m not taking any orders at the moment. Thanks for watching the video!
@@TriadoCustomEngraving ok thanks man .
I love to mess with my gums.thanks.new ideas.
That’s great!
👍👍💯!!!!
Thank you!
👍🏻👍🏻
🤙🏻
Did you have to register the firearm with the ATF as having been altered?
Not sure what the process is, customer did everything afterwards.
Very nice work!! Do you think using the Dremel you can cut a slide for a red dot? Just asking thanks 👍🏽
I think it’s possible if you use a round burr, just have to make sure it’s center haha.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving thx
what lens are you using? im about to try to engrave top of the slide im new on this laser ^^
Laser? It’s all hand engraved

Thanks brotha!

Yeah buddy!
Hey bro how much would you charge to Engrave Louis Vuitton symbols on an ak47 75 or 100 drum just on the side all around
Hey Luis, send me an email or you can hit me up on any socials. Thanks!
Hello my name is Bam, and I would like to know why did you switch back-and-forth with the two different Dremels or engraving tools, what was the difference between the two of them?
Hey Bam. First tool that I used was a Foredom Micromotor. I mostly use it for outlines because it’s a great precision tool, although not so good at taking out large amount of metal. I switched to Dremel 4000 because it’s more powerful. I use these tools side by side for almost every project that I do. If you only have the Dremel I would stick with that. My micromotor system cost me over $500, so it’s not a cheap tool to get, but I like it since it doesn’t vibrate or make as much noise as the Dremel.
Have you thought about using a laser to etch the pattern on the object vice using carbon paper? You can get lasers that etch in color now, so that could help with the whole pattern.
Hello, I don’t have any lasers and I don’t expect half the people who watch this video to have one. Sometimes you just gotta work with what you got.
Hi, how often do the diamond bit ball burs get used up / need to be discarded? I just started engraving and I’m still trying to gain knowledge
Hey Rishika, I used tungsten carbide burs for this project, but diamond bit can last a long time and also run out quickly, all depends on where you’re using it. Higher the speed of your rotary tool can also wear out the bit quicker, keep the bit wet throughout the engraving to keep it clean and also cool. Lastly, diamond bits are great for glass, painted surfaces, plastics and leather. It can be used on metal but they will only last short time before you have to swap it out. Hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.
Thank you so much for your response
after engraving, how do you prevent rust?, or it doesnt rust?
Yes you definitely need to prevent rust. You could do clear coat cerakote application to maintain that engraved look or you can use blueing but that would darken everything. I would do some research online to see what the best route and best result that you’re looking for.
Milling off the existing text would have made this fantastic, but an outstanding job regardless. 👍
Thank you Damion! You’re talking about the Glock text? I tried my best to cover everything up. Problem is that I made the design without having all of those things traced, except for the outline of the Glock. I ran in to the problem a bit when I saw that my design was going over the serial number…haha so I had to modify it to avoid engraving over it. Next time ill have it done the right way.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving - Like I said, outstanding! You camouflaged over the existing text very nicely.
@@damionchrist Thanks again 🤙🏻
Fantastic job sir , how can I get something like that done to my Glock ? Thanks let me know..👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much! Are you trying to do it yourself? If so, what tools do you have?
@@TriadoCustomEngraving No I’m not trying to do it myself, I was hoping I can pay you to do it for me ?
Unfortunately you caught me at a wrong time. I’m getting stationed on a boat and will not be able to do any engraving work for a little while.
How much would it cost for you to do a Glock 17 slide from Brownells? And do you do AR guns?
Send me an email with details. triado.custom.engraving@gmail.com
Great stuff. What was the white goop you put on the burr?
Thank you! I use lubricant called Pro-Cut, helps with heat and prolongs the life of burs.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving thanks man, appreciate the response. Also appreciate your content, I recently got the foredom SR motor and some various burrs, it’s been fun trying my hand at what you do. Can’t wait to be as good as you.
@@Big_D39 Thanks man! Let me know how you liking that SR, I’ve been looking at buying one for a while now.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving I actually love it, I only recently started using one as a hobby but prior I worked in men’s wedding band manufacturing and was using a unit 8-10hrs a day and they’re a hell of a machine, can’t recommend foredoms products enough, customer service has been top notch as well with any questions I have.
@@Big_D39 That’s awesome, I’ll have to try it sometime. The only thing that I noticed is that it doesn’t go very fast compared to the Dremel so not sure how well it will do for detail work and such.
What did u dip it in
Nothing, I was not the owner of the slide. Owner said that he put clear coat paint over top.
Is there anyway I can buy that we the people template
I’ll have to see if I still have it saved somewhere. Send me an email and I’ll send it to you if I find it.
How much would that design with no stars cost...g43???
Not sure honestly, I haven’t done engraving in a while. I would say between $80-100. This was the only slide that I have engraved.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving once I get my g43 slide I definitely will be intouch with you!!!
@@bigmacboney Haha aight, no guarantee on my availability. I got some projects around the house that I have to finish.
Issues with rusting on the Glock slide?
Great question. This gun slide was not mine, I had this done for a customer who later applied some oil to it to prevent rusting. The original plan was to cerakote the slide and have the engraving stand out in a different color but he chanced his mind when he saw it shine from engraving. My guess is that it would rust if you do not apply any type of protection to it afterwards.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving thank you for your response! I'd like to get my g17 personalized but I worry about rust. Any suggestions on how to seal it other than cerakote?
@@andyconda5194 I’m no expert when it comes to taking care guns but maybe if you apply some gun oil to it it will keep it from rusting. Maybe consider throwing a clear coat on it but that can take away the shine.
How much Is going be ,for a gun engraved like this ? Anyone know 😅
Did it for a buddy so I only charged $60
What who you charge to do a clock slide like that if I sent it to you
Hey Mike, I’m currently not taking orders but my guess would be around $150-200, all depends on the design.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving the price sound fine to me if you decide you would be interested in doing one please let me know
@@mikepuckett8604 Sounds good man. I’m getting stationed on a boat so I won’t have much time for anything haha. Military life

Is there a site that I can maybe download and print that stencil that you used
Do u do work for public?
Hey Scott, since this is my hobby I mainly do this for people that I know. I’ve done a few local orders here and there.
Where are you located? I need a man with your talent and will make you tons of money doing what you enjoy!
for sale now on gb I see....
Ha that’s pretty cool, good find!
General design?
Hey Tony, what’s the question? Not sure what you mean by general design.
just go with diamond instead of the nitride coated.
I’ll have to try it, it worked well on other metals figured it would work similarly on this. I guess not haha
Please get back at me!
👍🏻
Bro this is tits I been wanting to do this but wasn’t sure how it would turn out
Thanks man! It’s doable but time consuming for sure. Make sure that you have a plan to coat the engraving otherwise it will rust.
more zoom pls i can't see the resault...XD
Haha right on! I’ll get the telescope next time 🤣
" We the people " and a tattered American flag on a Austrian Gun is a bit strange . But beautiful just the same
Yeah not my gun, I’m just glad that I got an opportunity to engrave one.
😢
🧻
Horrible you fkd up that slide...
Hey thanks Joe, have an awesome day
I wouldn't call that engraving. Somewhere between chicken scratch and carving, but definitely not engraving.
Ok boss
@Triado Custom Engraving Wasn't supposed to be an insult. Just saying that's not engraving.
If you want to see what engraving is check this out: ua-cam.com/video/j9Tpwd35oss/v-deo.html

Bro you have serious talent!! Amazing work! I need someone like you in my shop. If your interested in making great money doing what you love just message me. If not keep doing what you love and start your business bro, much love and respect don’t waste your amazing skills!
Thanks James! I’m in active duty Coast Guard and doing this as a hobby. Still have 6.5 more years to go before retirement. Planning on doing more after.
Seriously great work. I have a gen5 G 19 as well. I want it done just like this. How can I get into contact with you? Let’s freaking go. 😊
Thank you man! I haven’t engraved in a little while since I’m stationed on a boat. I’m in active duty coast guard and do engraving as a hobby. Also I’m not exactly sure how to protect the engraving afterwards, I might have to learn how to cerakote or maybe similar process that will protect the engraving from rusting. People recommended blueing the engraving but that will ruin the engraving (darken it). So I definitely need to do research on that. Thanks for watching my video!
