new hobby
 

well gents n gals, the ol speckdaddy been busy tinkerin with a new hobby...etching glass.its fun and the only limit is ya imagination.here are afew of the fish pictures ive etched.sorry bout the bad mirror effect, but ya hafta paint the back or the etching doesnt show.tell me what yall think

Dude that is fricken awesome............how you charging?

nice!!

Cool!! I've always wondered how that is to do. What about breakage? Has that been an issue yet?

dont charge bro, gimme a pic and sum glass and we can do it up

breakage isnt that bad, but tempered glass is an issue. if ya go too deep, it will break. regular annealed glass is just fine.

NIce... Thats really Nice SD

Awesome!

Can you do the SC logo? like on the back window of a truck?

these two pics dont do any justice. ill try ta get sum better pics. ive even done a few and had em trimmed out with sum cypress... wayyy nice gimme sum suggestions guys, i can definitely hook yall up. its way easy

i know i can do it. its just like i said, tempered glass is iffy, if ya go just a lil too deep, itll explode. tell ya what tho, i betcha i can engrave the sc logo on sum boat windshields!!!!! thatll be bad arse

Yeah, vehicle glass is touchy stuff. I actually had a door glass blow up once sitting in the bed of my truck. It was for a customer vehicle and I had it waiting to put it in and the sunlight was enough somehow.

Anyway, that's great work. What types of equip you gotta get for that? Got pics of some of your equip?

Sounds like a good idea.... I might get back with you on that.

Nice...Did not know you was doing that........... Jordan just Text me..wanted to know if you still are going to draw that Skrimp boat on his back glass

Nice work Speckdaddy.

bro, all ya need is a dremel tool and a diamond bit. thats it!!!!!

thanks big j

A Skrimp Boat huh?

dude...did not know you did this???



WOW! nice!

i thought you was saying about your jigheads..but noo now you etching glass!

Thats the new name SKrimp Boat......;)

i gonna put him three shrimp boats and a pic of ensco 86!!! lol naw ill do any pic for anyone, just get a pic and get sum glass and pm me, id luv ta hook ya up:rolleyes:

told ya the speckdaddy was talented!!!!;)

Can you make the 56 hole scene??

absolutely, down to the hardheads they were catchin lmao dont get me started w

bet that would look awesome lit up, example- have a light shining from the bottom ,up.

Speckdaddy you think you could do this pic?? If so let me know.

not a problem, can ya get me a decent pic of it ? size wise i mean.just need a know how large ya want it. and what ya want it on.

etching
 

That's some great art work.
I will have to do a little research ,I know i've seen a type of light that you put into a frame then frame the etching and it makes the etched part of the glass light up.:cool:

PM me your email. I enlarged the picture and it came out pretty good. How big do you need the pic? Does it need to be the same size that goes on the glass?

I used to etch glass, but it usually involved a straw. I'm just sayin. Nice work.

yes i've seen it before aswell thats why i recommended he try that. They turn out looking very good lit up!

that is some nice work dude.

Yeah I did some good art work with the stuff myself.......but it always seemed to disappear really fast

LMHEOOOO.. ill say i did that to... Now when i hear someone scratching a plate with a fork i get a sht cramp:*****:

Speckdaddy, that is some awesome looking stuff man, I may have to hit you up to do something for me to put in my gun rack.

"W" I gotta run my skrimp boat to keep u fishing bruh. The secret is out. We all know u feesh with skrimp. Poor poor guy. Always lying to people. Some of us forgive u... I said some. Not all.

When we going Skrimpin?

Speck nice f in work man...I really like...eman's idea would be cool!!! Wow very impressed!!

When you get home!

:rotfl: :cool:

Bout another week i guess...

I want Jordan to bring his shrimp boat down.

Jordan gotta shrimp boat????

speck daddy, that is some really nice work. I think you are a little misleading though about just having to have a diamond bit and a dremel tool to do that. you could give me all the tools you want and all the time I needed and I would still not come up with stuff like that. Thats a talent man. Can you do plexy glass too?

Man all the work you gonna get you gonna have to start chargin!!That looks awesome!I always wanted to have some ducks etched on my gun cabinet doors.

plexiglass is even easier!!! lemme know man, btw, ill show ya my tools, dremel and a diamone bit...thats it ill swear on it

buddy, like i said, get the glass and pics and ill hook ya up. pm if ya need details

Nice work Speck. I used to do etch glass work but it involved using a masking tape, painstakingly cutting the 'mask' with an exacto knife and sand blasting with sugar sand. It was hard to find the 'two dimensional' vector art designs so I would find a new house for sale and go copy the design of the glass front door onto clear traceing paper. Duck designs I used were very intricate and time consumeing. I'm gonna try the Drimmel tool trick. Thanks for sharing and again nice work....

yep, ya cant use just any ol photo, i try ta use black n white pics and pencil art if i can, much more detail usin these two types. ive blasted art coupla times, like ya said, wayyyy too time consumin. ya get great results but man it took me a lil ove r 5 days ta draw a redfish and that too long. try the dremel , it works

RIGHT NOW BRUH... Bring ur po-mans nike's

its down the road... in "north venice" lmao !!!
