Pantograph Bike Parts
I've been doing a bit of pantograph or engraving work on both old and new bicycle components in the last few years so I thought I'd show a few one here as I know a few people have asked me to post some when I've got to at least 10 posts.
There is a lot more than this which can be viewed on my flickr account here https://www.flickr.com/photos/pantoparts/
and I have a few on Facebook too here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1095...?ref=bookmarks

Thanks for the heads up, is there a way to 'share ' it ? Or do I rewrite the pst again? Skip that I've figured it out

Absolutely beautiful - first time I ever thought a four-arm crank looked good. Did you simply buff off the black finish? I was also under the impression that modern brake levers were carbon - apparently not

Thank you I’m glad you like my work.
Yes I use a chemical process initially before polishing but most of the cranks start out silver although I’ve done black and a combine of black and silver, examples below. Ditto with brake levers I do both black and silver👍

Nice work. I'm not a great fan of pantographing because a lot of it is overdone. Yours is very tasteful.

Beautiful work. As good as it has ever been done. Definitely put this up at C&V.
If you don't already know Chris Howard and cycloretro.com take a look. He has a couple tricks up his sleeve beyond what you are showing. If you were to show him your work he would immediately be another fan.

If you were to put those videos on Youtube, I'm sure you would have an instant following. Your work is fantastic.
