Marking the tools I make...

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.

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.

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, Ken

Wow, beautiful furniture, very professional. well done.

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!!...

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.

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?

Nice work on the gateleg table. I didn't know what those were called but we have a square version handed down from a couple generations past. It has been relegated to side table status as it's nearly impossible to sit around, as I'm sure you've discovered. ;-)

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

Oops! I better get that fixed real quick.
