I take a lot of pictures of projects in my shop to document progress and show off my work. Sometimes a tool or a peg board full of tools is visible in the shot. I thought it would be good branding to have my logo and business name on some of them. I LOVE the look of this!

Huh, yeah those are nice and deep.
I wonder how they’ll feel in hand over a long build process?

Yeah, and if they get caught they could chip. Maybe you could fill them with epoxy? They would be protected and feel better in your hand?
But I love the look of them; they turned out beautifully.
They look deep but you really don’t feel a difference at all. If it was bothersome I could back fill it with epoxy but for me it really isn’t an issue.

What an excellent idea for personalized tools.

Have used a small mallet and fret hammer but your guitars must need some serious adjustments during a build.

Ha, yes, most jobs only call for the small hammers. The others are for when gentle persuasion has failed.

Looks really sharp!
I was going to make a snarky reply like “those look like hammers to me” but didn’t. Aren’t you proud of me? I’m the picture of self-restraint.

Oh yeah! Marketing on the sly is definitely a good use of your tools 
The glow in the dark looks very cool, I think the fact that it filled in cracks in the handle actually adds!

Looks good with and without a fill.

Now you can find who “borrowed” your tools in the dark.

Speaking of which… I mixed dark blue and purple and they separated in the inlay and turned purple on one side and blue on the other.
