Thanks.
Yeah, and the good thing is, i can turn the sprocket over and do something else on the other side...
Glass is my main thing though, and i've just finished my first mirror - or rather decent mirror.

Looks good Debb. I like the sprocket too.

The bike in glass looks VERY nice. I love motorcycles!

Thanks Peter. Its on a mirror, engraved from the reverse side, except for a tiny bit near the wheels where i forgot to turn it over before starting.
I have a few on flat glass, but most of the stuff I've done is on pint glasses.

Good quess Roger. I was trying to figure what it was and was at a loss. Those Vincents were marvels. I have a picture of a Black Shadow that I like to look at. I've seen them at shows, but i've not seen one being ridden.
