I just finished

Hi Roland ,
This looks good would like to see when the knife is complete. What handle material will be fitted on the knife?

Cheers

"VAN"

[rbaptiste]

I don't know.
Probably wood?

[Steve Lindsay]

Hi Roland, Very cool! Do you have some closer pictures zoomed in on the engraving?

[rbaptiste]

Hi Steve,
It is just the draw of the project.
Now I must engrave ;-)
You see that soon

[Steve Lindsay]

Hi Roland, Are you using an inkjet to transfer?

[rbaptiste]

I used a print laser without warmer and transparency film and Dammar varnish.
Why this question? Are you an another better method?

[Steve Lindsay]

Your transfers are very good. I thought it might be inkjet. Your laser method is working good!

[rbaptiste]

I have too Magic transfer and Epson c81 but when you have a transform print this method is very easy

Monsieur Roland, un exemple très bel. J'apprécie votre travail.

Pouvons-nous voir un exemple de votre schéma pour ce projet?

James

[rbaptiste]

What do you call "schema"?
The picture on the top is a draw project.
Now I do the engrave.
I will post the engraving picture on the futur soon ;-)

[thinair33]

I did not know if you first drew by hand then converted in a vector program to transfer. I was interested in seeing a hand sketch. "Schema" was in reference to your scheme of design, the overall layout. I am interested in how you come up with your design and layout.

Thanks
James

[rbaptiste]

I don't use a vector program. I draw with a pencil and after I scan the picture to do the background black with photoshop.
If you want, I can do a little tutorial for show you

[thinair33]

That would be fantastic!!

Thanks
James

I missed this picture alltogether
That is very nice work Roland!
Any chance of seeing the other side?
I would love to see the little dude with the sword.

Greetings,

Daniel

[SVD]

That' looks nice!
(at least as far as I can tell right now - the Firewall of Idiocy where I work blocks ImageShack so I have to look at it on my Treo (smartphone)).

[Daniel Houwer]

And there he is!
I love it and think that you have a very nice and different style thenn only scroll's.

Thank you for posting!

Daniel.

Roland , that is just fantastic you along with Phil Cogan just inspire me to move on to higher levels , thanks for posting .. ron p

[rbaptiste]

Thanks a lot .
I receive a mesage by LEBEAU COURALLY to say me if it is possible to don't show any pictures of the knife. :-(
Sorrry but I will not show the other side to this knife.
Thanks again

[SVD]

That's too bad, but I can understand. We'll just have to wait until the whole thing is done and goes 'public' to get to see the rest.
