New maul to play with. My new Russian. Elvish is a pain! and yes I am crazy, and constantly flit between projects! Just a thought but would a black velvet painting of Elvish Presley be cool or what!?

Suggestions on how I can make this permanent on the poly are welcome. ( I'm thinking an engraving tool then gold leaf.) 20180320_184058_resized_1.jpg

Did you make this?

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

You could get it engraved on a big metal ring and then mount it onto the maul.
Just watch out for Smeagol trying to make off with his precious, though...

No I got this on Etsy from Russia for $62 total. This was an inspirational purchase. It had a lord of the rings feel to it.

Might be my best bet. wood burner melts poly (not enough control) , engraver is difficult on the small scale (again a control problem) . Sharpies and paint work but not permanently. My next experiment will be a clear coat over ink, and paint to see how it holds up. If that doesn't work I'm going to print the runes on shrinky dink plastic and glue it!

How about laser cutting the letters out and then filling them with a dark wax? :unsure:

I think cutting this type of plastic with a laser will release noxious gases, like cyanide and possibly formaldehyde. The gases may also can leave a coating on the surface of the laser lens and disable your laser.

That is Crazy! I love it and am going to try it when I buy a heat gun ( it's on my list... high on my list).

I bought an electric metal engraver today. Great results so far. It's a very mild impression. The engraver has embedded some of the graphite from the pencil and leaves a shadow of the writing. I also got some gold leaf and a polyacrylic sealer. I have some leather dyed green (waiting for it to dry) for the handle. I think I will name it Sting, a nerdy homage and a tribute to a Dark Star.
