Default Bored with a dremel on Memorial Day weekend...

Got bored and had a spare can of clear coat and my dremel so I thought I'd share.




I really shouldn't be left alone...

Nope. This was just a one off thing I felt like doing on a whim.

Yah, had to practice on a spare plastic battery box first. Didn't take loing to get the hang of it. Been dremeling for years anyway. Just some no name Ebay brand seats.

Not long, took a day to cut them out. Another day to clear coat. Again, didn't have much else going on.

Damn, that's awesome!
You're more ambitious than I am. I got bored with a dremel and a can of polish and this is all I accomplished.

That does look great!

Put a accent color behind letters and you certainly have something. Plus its simple and mod worthy if the quality of work is good. I'm certain you'd have a few customers.
