Custom Hand Engraving by R.Quecke

Portfolio

Making the stuff you own, that much cooler.

Creating heirloom quality engravings on jewelry, knives, watches, tattoo machines and much more. Every design is one of a kind and carefully crafted to suite each client’s vision.

Coming up in August 5th-9th 2024 I’ll be teaching a class at Jeff Parke’s studio in Mesa AZ.

*Sold Out*

Join me in this immersive class where you'll delve into my process of designing, engraving, and perfecting pieces with meticulous finishing techniques. Discover the art of creating depth and contrast through selective finishes, coloring, and textures. Our class project will center around crafting a pendant featuring an illustrative design, accentuated with some relief. While I'll provide a sample piece to guide us, I encourage you to explore your creativity in applying these techniques. With the examples I’ll have, I aim to equip you with a comprehensive understanding of these transformative methods. I can't wait to share my knowledge with you.

Finally after some serious lack of motivation, and then some stomach issues. I got this one finished up. Just had an idea and wanted to do something with a few of the longest used, and most recognizable engraving tools. As always, dramatically lit photos, along side a video in natural light. * 1/8” thick 316 stainless, arabesque style relief, old English, running leaf around the perimeter edge, and some English style scrollwork on the backside. * This is available, please DM or check website for price. Any questions give me a holler. * On top of that, I made a new shirt design with the same concept, and it’s on sale! Code- BONUS15 when checking out. Link in bio.

So, let’s do this post again to show and talk more about it. I started an engraving, outline and even started some relief. I wasn’t happy with a few things about it, that couldn’t be fixed. So, instead of tossing and wasting this pendant, it’s thick enough to sand it off on the belt sander. I could file it, but didn’t, for no other reason than I didn’t feel like filing off about 0.5mm. So I took it to the belt sander, and up to a polish, so that when I start my handwork, I can see where and how off in flatness I am. I then went to the hand work of files, then emery, once again back to hand polish. I then hit the edges with 1200 ceramic stones for a tiny chamfer, and hit it back with the wonderful 3M green paper. Now it’s flat and ready to be engraved again. Check out the last video with the machinist square, no light comes through. * * * Hope everyone is well, back to the drawing board.

If you’ve ever been given one of my business cards, then you know how much I care about them representing me and my work. I want to create a moment of awe when someone touches and looks at my card. It’s important to me. * Pretty excited
If you’ve ever been given one of my business cards, then you know how much I care about them representing me and my work. I want to create a moment of awe when someone touches and looks at my card. It’s important to me. * Pretty excited about these! I designed and had some cards made to include with my engraved items, so I can write down the material, inlays, date, ect. I didn’t want to do a certificate of authenticity. Also did a few things to match my business cards. Same cotton stock, thickness and colored edge. These ones are printed, gold foil and embossed. * * If you get something engraved from me, it will now include one of these. I am also doing shirts and stuff with my designs now. And will always have new designs periodically. Link in profile or on my website. * I hope everyone is doing well and making beautiful things.
My littlest best friend and my better half. * I almost love my x100v as much as I love these two. My only post editing is cropping to 8X10. * * #fujifilm #fujixseries #fujix100v #x100v
Is this really what I do for a living?! I love this shit!
Waiting to send this one out, I’m waiting on some, not sure what to call them besides item cards? I designed and ordered some new fancy cards to I clued with everything I do, so I can write on them what they are, materials, date, ect. Hopefully

I designed and ordered some new fancy cards to I clued with everything I do, so I can write on them what they are, materials, date, ect. Hopefully they’ll be done next week. * Lots of fun stuff going on with this piece. Titanium, relief, gold 24k gold inlay, selective finishing. As difficult it is to engrave 24k, I really do enjoy it. Notice the size. Very very small. * * Some of my normal dramatically lit photos, with a natural light video at the end. * * #titanium #mensjewelry #monogram
