My first share. Glock Stainless Slide

[diamond_maker]

I've been engraving for about a year now, but this is the first time I've posted pics of my work. Having the right tool really helped.

Good job! Thanks for posting the pics. Glad the tool is getting good use.

did you have any problems with hardness, ive heard they can be hard

[diamond_maker]

I had major problems due to the hardness. However, this is my third stainless slide and I have worked out a couple trick. Both of these tips for working with stainless were found on this engraving forum.

1. Dub your graver
2. I move my grave further into the holder when sharpening. From the standard to exactly 1". Basically a steeper face.

Nice. I did a glock years ago and it was super hard to do!
