lighter engraving

Recommended Posts

So I've gotta get a Zippo lighter engraved and not sure if there is a good site or someone on here who can do it? I can email a picture of the design if needed. The other option is would it be better to etch it? Or is etching it possible? I've got access to sand blasters so that's not a problem. Any help would be great thanks in advance.

If you were to etch that, do you have a way of cutting something that small with that much detail? I think my graphtec would struggle with that one. 

 

Laser engraving is probably your only option. It will probably be expensive for a one off but if they are willing to pay, im sure you can find someone online.

Laser engraving would bust that right out. Don't know the cost and you'd need a vector file just like a cutter would.

His right hand...   Or did you mean in front of his ankle?

If I had to do it I would use photo resist. I have etched glass smaller than that.
