Ridiculous ideas

[exengrav]

I have had a couple of jobs to do for an artist that I know. He has the idea, I get it to work and do the job and he gets artistic acknowledgement. Sound familiar to anybody else? I have cut conical holes in a book, to accommodate limpet shells ( stepped, 15 pages at a time ! ) and even more wacky, I have engraved text onto seagull feathers. Just wondering what other equally unlikely jobs anybody else has taken on ?

Sealing rings for a PWR system

Most expensive engraving jobs I do, £2,000 for 20 minutes work but months of paperwork and authorisations to get

strange request I have fulfilled is to engrave an oak toilet seat as a leaving gift for a long term employee of a bathroom company.... only just fitted on my 3060... but I enjoyed the challenge

I've cut some stingray skin samples for inlaying
Not a very nice smell at all

I told someone I could engraved bananas so he asked me to engrave some with his kid's names on. I also used mirrored acrylic to make a custom mirror for a budgie that had it's name engraved on it to hang in it's cage.

if it's paid for it's not so ridiculous
