Chainsaw with water transfer printing - custom 'paint' job!

Ok, Phillip J. Fry. Did they ever find him? I remember when he went missing Jan 1, 2000.

 

Ye olde lady says this is making it rain. When I get to a pc I will add it.

How does the water transfer work? I've always just used a dremel to engrave designs in my saws and fill the engraving with black ink

 

I would like to see some of your work.

Marylandguy posted a video of the water transfer process back a few pages.

I haven't read the whole thread yet, so someone may have answered this already. I also do hydrographics. As far as the durability goes, it's all about the clear used. I have went through a few clears in testing and have landed on a gloss clear I like, and a matte clear I like. Mostly for durability (I do lots of gun parts). Having said that, anything can be worn out or scratched. A chainsaw would be an item that would get beat on a regular basis, probably much more than a gun would.

I had though I would do some stuff on some of my saws, but never did...Yet. It's a lot more work than most understand, but it is cool when it all works out.

 

I do that often? Cool looking saw.

You got some tearing of the film on the riveted metal. and the rainbow is under activated. Some films are tougher than others. It's hard to get it all right unless you can read the film.
