I’ve started doing rotary hand engraving.

Mostly on Zippos, bike parts, metal bits, whatever feels right.

It’s not laser. It’s not some perfect computer-cut thing. It’s done by hand with a rotary, so every line has a bit of movement in it. Some pieces are cleaner, some are rougher, but they all come from the same place.

One hand. One tool. A bit of inspiration, a bit of frustration, and just hours spent.

I like taking plain stuff and making it feel less dead. A lighter, a derby cover, an old part, a bit of metal sitting on the bench — give it some lines, some weight, some kind of story.

It doesn’t have to be precious. That’s not really the point.

I’m more into things that look like they’ve been used, carried, dropped, fixed, passed around, and still kept going. The engraving just adds to that. A bit of detail. A bit of damage. A bit of soul.

Everything I do is still evolving. I’m learning it, cutting it, wrecking some things, figuring out what works, and making pieces that feel like they belong in the same world as old bikes, tools, greasy hands and late nights.

If you want something custom engraved, hit me up.

Zippos, parts, small metal pieces, weird ideas — I’m open to it.

Stay trashy.
