and yes i see the missing hyphen  and i fixed it

Those look great, good work!

very nice flea did you do these for the Lilly family

Flea thanks a lot man one of them will look grate on my

cage

for thoes that dont know me my name is Tony

and flea did these plates for my NC_ZUK cage that I won at this years zookimelt 07'

the cage is already put in and painted popcicle orange and now im going to put one of the plates

on the dash bar


Tony

damn   that cage IS sweet. id heard alot about them but yet to actualy see one.

sorry it took so damn long to get it to you,  thanks for being patient   and im proud to have my work displayed alongside something that was created for such a worthy cause.

later bud

no i didnt  (panzers idea all the way) but if anyone suggests that i do so, after you post up a mounted pic at zuwharrie.com  (hint hint)  just let me know (tony)  and ill do whatever they want, within reason.

just be sure to tell em it will be 6 months  so the three it seems to take me wont feel so bad.

also   if you are bent on (pun intended)  attaching it to one of the bars, im gonna have to do one in aluminum cause that black enamel coating most likely wont survive the bending.

i left alot of side overhang because i wasnt sure what you wanted. id reccomend stopping by an engraving shop or upscale jeweler and they will cut it down for you , most likely for free.

let me know.

for as much as i HATE engraving jobs, these gave me a good feeling the whole time i was doing them.

well flea i still havent mounted it yet

I'm tryin' to figure out how the best way to bend it is

i think (yeah ,yeah  i know )

this is what im going to try

seeing how the outside dia. is 1.5" i am going to find a piece of pipe that has a 1.5" inside dia.

and a small piece that is 1.5" outside dia. and put them together over the plate (with a rag of corse)

and use hose clamps every inch or so and tighten them down a little at a time till it gets real close

and leave it that way for about a week and then just rivit it down to the cage

if you guys have a better idea let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mount it flat  somewhere off the bar and ill do another one now that i found my aliminum stock.

or just go for it since youve got a reserve.

no worries if it gets &$#@*

Aluminimum ?

that would be super sweet if i could get one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alright    i promise it wont be 3 months this time.

ill get to it later this week   probably thurs or friday

it wont show nearly as nicely as it is one color.   but it will be deep since al  is so soft and it will be shiny letters against a brushed background.


same size?    maybe smaller ?  that way you can read it, all at once and not "around "
    i might have to pop rivit it to a piece of  1 3/4 tube to set in machine and get it right.

grind off the rivits then send it

dat sounds good to me

We have a manual engraver identical to that. We also have a computer model.

lucky guy !!!

my damn hand gets tired doing big jobs


what the hell do you need an engraver for jr8?

what do you guys charge?
