danger engravers beware

[monk]

yesterday i was making another surface pass on a derby i've been working on. i was doing this outside- the day was totally great. my face was maybe 5" from the cover, when "splatt"! some dirty bird pooped on my project. i didn't know birds had laser-guided technology. fortunately no harm came to the transfer design after i washed the poo off.

Wow Monk,



Maybe this is what K Frei is on about.

I hereby demand you make a poo warning for this thread!

Isn't that supposed to be a sign of luck! Or is it just luck when it doesn't hit you directly?!

"now you can say it's "Pidgeon Grade" engraving."
That really made me laugh Marty!!! You may need to be a gun engraver/collector to get it though.

It was that way when i was in the vacated Winchester custom shop in New Haven with Bruno Pardee. Everything was still racked up as if they left for the day and never came back....but the pidgeons did....thus pidgeon grade. Broke my heart
