Okay, so I got more feedback on the emblems after WCR. A good friend called me up and gave me a few pointers, another kind individual took their emblem to an experienced machinist that was more than happy to look it over and give some quick input on how to make them look even better. and... I came across a couple that I'd cut out before and thought "crap! I can do better than that! WTF?" (or something along those lines.)
Nobody complained though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So again, I thank everyone that offered input to help out with my learning curve. I went through three 914-EV emblems trying out all of the new input this past week and a half. The edges are quite a bit more smooth now, the area between the letters is just the right amount of deep, the polishing is looking a LOT more shiny. The 9 that is pictured is before I polished it; to show the new machined edges. The angled 2.7 (has some lint on it that I discovered after I opened the pictures in photoshop) shows the edges after the polish. The one where I am holding the 2.7 you can see the reflection of my curtains (red) and my blackberry. (black) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The sharp internal corners are quite difficult to get. There would be some rounding out, and it would take quite awhile to do with the smaller bit to minimize the rounding. The cost would be greater, as it would take 2 - 3 times as much time as the ones that I am currently doing, but I'd be happy to make one for you if you are serious about it.
