I managed to engrave a badge decent centered, after about 10 attempts.  :biglaugh:
But slowly, i get the laserthingeling tuned.

Burn a hole in a piece of cardboard or something and set your medallion in the hole, done, centered :thumbsup: By the way nice work

Just went thru a major ISP upheaval. What a pain. Got to get use to speedy connections now ;)
5G is a revelation for folks in rural locations.

I am playing around with the Finish of my clear coat.

Less pressure and thick laquer as top Finish.
Should give a nice grip in the bow.

I use Kyrstal dull top coat over lacquer. One wet coat of the dull then just back the pressure of to 10 psi. stand back about 20 inches it kind of splatters on a nice matte finish.

You could just mask off around the grip area and It might look  cool :dunno:
