Cut, Cut Cut… it’s a wrap…

In recent days we have been working on a few goodies for one or two of the crew for a new movie by Marvel Comics, the name of the movie seems to be under wraps but its working title is ‘Full Tilt’ … we don’t expect to see them on the big screen this time though… it’s animated.Online gifts store and flaskstore collaborate for gifts for movie crew.

Thanks to the team there for the order though.

Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Tankards

This week we have been finishing off the Tankards for Jamie Oliver’s new branch of his Fifteen restaurant and boy have we learned a lot about commercial beer tankards… and quickly.

Many thanks to the restaurant for commissioning the goods from us plus if other restaurants or bars are looking for tankards to sell beer over the counter Gifts of Distinction and tankardstore can offer Excise Verification Mark service to legally say you are as a commercial restaurant or bar selling a legal pint and the consumer is buying a legal pint of English beer.

Step-by-step visual guide for 3D printing for everyone.

Further developing my passion for and introducing the process of 3D printing to the world (It is the next generation of consumer products) I thought this was a great way to illustrate the process for both the public and the engineers involved in using it – consider it a visual guide to 3d printing. Over the next few weeks I will introduce a very simple keyring made using 3D printing to the David-Louis collection, this item has now been tried and tested and is ready for delivery to market.

#2 Secret diary of an engraver…

So we are coming to the end of another busy week and I am continuing on with our current theme of lovely engravings we work on.

My favourite engraving of this week was for a fantastic silver gift item on our Gifts of Distinction web site, the gentleman in question was retiring from what was a long career in a local business and we engraved the most excellent retirement greeting I have come across yet:

 

Retired !

Goodbye tension, Hello pension !

Yet again, we smiled and according to our facebook page, danced a lot this week.

Have a lovely weekend, David.

The secret diary of an engraver

I have been spurred into writing this by the fantastic tales that slip un-noticed through my finger tips and onto metal with my trusty engraving machine as a tool, over many years I have engraved thousands of gift items and each message tells a tale, some are sad and some are delightful, as the engraver all I get is the snap shot of the event, the rest is up to my imagination….

Our gifts have been used for every conceivable event from birth to death and beyond…………

The spur of at last publishing these tales of simple engravings that tell of life’s journey happened a moment ago – In script font I have engraved on the back of a gift item….

I love you, will you marry me. x

Now who wouldn’t like to receive that beautiful gift.
