Today I finished a Zippo for a client. Although I'm novice engraver I took the challenge to engrave some letters on this very shiny lighter.
I didn't have to buy a practice plate, had some new experience and got paid for it.
On top of it, there is one hand engraved Zippo in my neighbourhood.
I don't know how it is in de US, but here you can't easily find a engraver who don't work with engraver machines. And although it is not top work, I think it has more character done by hand.
I only charge my client 20 euro for it, to cheap I know, but I'm still practicing.
any comments are welcome
