I've been making a lot of chisels and other tools as of late - and selling
them as fast as I can make them (If you're interested have a look at
http://members.shaw.ca/mathewa/tools4sale.htm ). I'm going to start making
them on a more commercial basis and need to apply a makers mark. I've
looked into having a steel stamp made up that I would hammer into the red
hot tool steel - but this would probably cause too much bending and or
distortion in some of the tools so I've ruled that out and a laser image is
out of the question so if anyone has any ideas could you post them.
Thanx Mat

In the tool & die business we use an inexpensive acid etcher. for small
runs.
Do a google search for elctro-etch or I can send you the phone number
tomorrow when I get to work.
Best,

I can't answer your question, but I had to jump in and say that's the most
beautiful router plane I've ever seen.

as others have said acid etch may be the best way. the steel stamp is pretty
spendy too mine cost me 350 and it is a handheld one. stamping hot steel would
not be much fun. You would need a air or mechanical stamper if you stamped much
steel.
I used to work at a saw shop and did acid etching. it is pretty easy to do.

Did you see the Chippendale Slant Top Desk - I'm mulling over the idea of
making it in alumimun. I get the giggles everytime I try to imagine what it
would look like. Do you know of anyone who can anodize a grain pattern on
alumimun ;-)

No the chess pieces were turned on a regular duty Delta 12" lathe. I've
since moved up to a oneway 2436 - it doesn't hop around the shop as much.
Thx for the feed back

Your tools look absolutely gorgeous.
The page states:
"All prices are quoted in Canadian funds"
But there are no prices quoted.
I guess that means the tools are 'priceless', eh?

Thank you - it was a joy to make. I'm planning a run of 5 once I clear away
all the other orders for tools.

There is an acid etch process using something similar to a silkscreen. I'm
not an expert and dont know the sources, but have used the acid etch method
to asset mark tools.

Oops! I better get that fixed real quick.

That would be pretty wild. I do like your aluminum turnings.
Regarding your giant chess pieces must've been a heckuva big lathe to turn
all that wood.
The whole setting looks very nicely concieved and well executed. Bravo!!...
