I need someone who can engrave some words onto a collar. It's a leather collar with a non-detachable metal plate on it. And what I need engraved is not something you could ask your local shoe shop to do

Happy to send it away if there's no-one in the North East of England.

Thanks!

lol - gotta love someone who doesn't give up!

I will take a look at courses...it actually rather appeals as a hobby.

I did google engravers and fired off a couple of dozen emails, although those that replied tend to want to do volume work rather than one-off, but I'm still going. I was just hoping that people her might have already done this and saved me some time.

Now as soon as I get the cast off my broken wrist (told you I was clumsy, lol!) I will maybe do a course and start offering my own service
