Haven’t seen the video but there are a few discussions of engraving on flasks with settings in the Beyond the Manual section. (Anytime you need settings you can use the Search button at the top of the screen in that section.)
Saw where someone was messing with flasks last week and decided to try. Flask is powder coated stainless steel. I think I will try a polish to see if I can get the engrave to shine a little more.[image]
