I finished my gas cap this morning

Why?

maybe to match the wheels,
edit just saw some profile pics, the man likes to custom engrave things

Tom Hudson

I am an engraver - that’s what I do for a living - I take this car-to-car shows to display my work - You might think it's crazy but I have 3 orders right now for gas cap over-lays! So one person's crazy is another person's cool - I have been ask to engrave some usual things over the past 30 years but nothing like a tattoo artist - they get the cool jobs - Tom

Very cool!

Tom Hudson

Yes I like to engrave - I enjoy my work - I enjoy getting up in the mornings and walking all the way out to my studio which is in my garage & go to work - not many folks can say that they really love to go to work - tom

Wasn't busting on your profession no disrespect intended,
just found the comment posted by dougbfresh to be funny

absolutely gorgeous! i'd LOVE to have some motorcycle covers engraved!!!

I think you have the better gig. I'd rather work alone in my garage than get intimate with a large womans backside while working on her tramp stamp

BTW nice work.

Tom Hudson

I have often wondered why (to me anyway) plus size women really go for the tats & if they are really ugly they super size their tats - you also see guys with 5 grand worth of ink but can't afford a car but they have a cell phone or they are standing on a corner with a sign asking for money for food? I haven't ever seen one of my clients standing on a corner with a sign begging for money to buy beer, but i do have clients with tats.

sounds like a project for next winter - it's riding season now!

Tom Hudson

me to - but with a handle like dougbfresh you have to be funny

Everyone has different tastes, and engraving may not be everyone's cup of tea. Your work however, is beautiful, and you should be rightfully proud of it! Displaying your talents on your Corvette, at the various venues available to do so, is a great way to get your art into the public eye. Nice gas cap by the way!

oh now that would be cool. I would like to see a Motorcycle gas tank engraved.

Congrats on a great job looks super

Tom Hudson

One of the guys actually did a bike gas tank with skulls & other weird stuff - the guy had the tank custom built with heavy gauge steel so that the engraver didn't have any worries about cutting to deep - I'll see if i still have the pix of the tank - it was wild!

Tom,

Can you please upload a close up pic of your rims?

thanks!

EDIT: NEVERMIND, I found them, thanks, and they look great man! nice job!

very different, great detail

Tom Hudson

Matter of fact - very little detail when compared to knife & gun engraving - I'm thinking about buying another set of wheel and do some really sculptured engraving - very hi-end stuff - project could take a year doing it for myself in my spare time - I just hate to start a project like that because once I start I don't want to stop & I find myself working day & night 7 days a week
