“I recently purchased an engraving kit from your company. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find that someone had included for me a gunstock training dvd at no cost. I greatly appreciated this gesture. I immediately took a gunstock from an old repair job and with a first attempt produced the product you see below. I am very impressed with the quality of your product.

“You are the best! I appreciate all your efforts and will not forget what you have done for me.

“Polly has discovered a way to have your cake and a decorative pan to carry it in. She sells pie, brownie and cake pans with lids that she engraves with almost anything you want. Because they stand out in a crowd, these pans are good choices for taking baked goods to a church bazaar or to the next family gathering. “Received over 100 calls on this article. And it was free. Will be doing over 100 pans just by this article. Love you All.

“This is my dream tool.
“Hi SCM. Here are some photos of my carvings on some gunstocks. I have so many requests for designs. I can do so many types of styles. I go in many different directions. I used to do this with hand tools. It took forever; not to mention how hard it was on my hands. This is my dream tool. Thanks again…

“A power house for detailing. Take your detailing to the next level With the Power Carver and the 400xs. Imagine No Vibration, Total Control, Never Heating up. You are in total control, It does not control you”
“I’m not slow; I just take my time. I told you 2 or 3 years ago that I would send you my business card, and I finally got around to it. Here are a few pictures of just a little of what I’m doing. I’m not done with my truck yet. I’m waiting on just the right picture of an eagle; then I’ll put it on the back window. I figure, if somebody steals my truck, they’ll have to replace all the windows immediately. Having fun…
Bill D.
“The first time I talked to you about your 400xs I said to myself, this is the company I want to do business with.
“Dear SCM, I really don’t know how to say this. I couldn’t get over your kindness, nobody has ever done this for me before. The first time I talked to you about your 400xs I said to myself, this is the company I want to do business with. You did not give me any BS and were not rude on the phone and you were a very nice to talk to. The engraver came at the right time. It is so much easier to do all of my fine detailing on my carvings thanks to SCM. I will be sending you some photos of my engravings. My wife does all the fine detail painting. With the 400xs I know I can do better detail withal my engraving. Your engraver has given me the opportunity to prove it. Thank you so much.
Jim W.
“Here are the pictures I told you about. The slices are 3 foot long. I enclosed some of the wooden plates as well. As you can see, I use the 400xs a lot. Hope to have more photos of carving done this year. Talk to you later…
Aaron
“Enclosed are photographs of some of the work I do using the 400xs. The photos are out of focus because I did not use my glasses when I took the pictures. Thanks for all of your support throughout the year. Your friend…

I have been able to change my entire designs because of the detail capability. I carve for hours at a time. If you are ever down this way in New Zealand, you’d be most welcome to get in contact and I’d show you around. Thank you for your prompt help, I appreciate it.

“Thought I’d send copies of some of my cake pan patterns I’ve been using. My customers really must like them because I’ve sold over 400 engraved pans. I thought I would include some pictures of some of my work. Thanks for your time. Will look forward to our next conversation. Happy Holidays

“It is very easy to use and found within a few minutes my comfort zone.
“Received System 3 yesterday and started using my new system already. It is very easy to use and found within a few minutes my comfort zone. How wonderful it was not to have oil shooting all over my eggs. Enclosed are photos of my street rod and eggs. If you look closely, you can see the etched rose on my window directly above my side-view mirror. This is what started everything almost 8 years ago. It was so nice talking to you-thank you for your time

“It’s been sometime since I talked to you on the phone. So I thought I better write a letter to let you know that I’m still using my engraver on every one of my carvings, it seems like I can’t wear out the engraving bits. The carving shows were great last year. The shows I’ve entered for this year have been phenomenal. I won a lot of first place, best of division and specialty ribbons for my carvings. The Indian on the horse has won a lot of excellent ribbons, the judges and the people love the workmanship the special detail that was put into this carving. I could not have done it without my SCM engraver with the high speed of the machine made it easy for me. I also won some great ribbons on my tall ship you have in the year calendar.
Melvin
“Thanks SCM for a fantastic engraver
“I started engraving and carving about four years ago. Carving has always been my favorite past time. Being an artist, gunstock carving came naturally to me. My grandfather was a furniture carver from Italy. As I got used to the machine, I began to experiment with egg carving and glass engraving. Now I am practicing metal engraving. More and more people are hiring me to do their gunstocks. My husband owns a gun shop, and we go to the gun shows. We show my engravings and egg carvings at the shows. Thanks SCM for a fantastic engraver.
Carleen G.
“The DVDs were a big help in getting going on this carving venture
“The first time I tried it was a little scary, but that soon passes. The SCM is a great tool and I really enjoy working with it. Again, thanks for your help in getting me going with a new venture…

“Thank you for such a great tool and providing me with our new venture. Thanks for all the advice; truly priceless
“In the last three months I have engraved over 3,000 cake pans. I engrave the buyers name and one of 26 designs. The cake pans are popular among those who carry food to potluck dinners or church events. They are sure to get their pans back. Thank you for such a great tool and providing me with our new venture.

“I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the equipment, I’m very satisfied with it that I’m sending you my first work. This bell is for you to keep. I sell these bells at wholesale for $15 plus freight. I want you to see how soft brass is for engraving and how beautiful it looks engraved. Once again, thank you very much
Jules R.
“I am writing you to let you know how much I am enjoying my high speed engraving and carving tool I have. So far I’ve done two walking sticks and four wall hanging carvings. I’m sending you a picture of the very first one I carved for a wedding gift for my nephew. It’s out of black walnut with a birch wood frame, also a couple of shots of my walking sticks. Take care and thank you

“Thanks again for my engraver. I would be lost without it
“I also got some photos for you. I used my engraver for all the fine detail I had to do on it. Thanks again for my engraver. I would be lost without it
Melvin Wheatley
“This is #2 pine. I used 3 mil wash out which still provided a fairly deep cut without eating away the film. I had to stain it with the fill still on the board even though the board was finished with a seal as pine is a little porous and will accept some stain on the finished board. I was able to come back in with the power carver and add so much more detail. It is so smooth and easy to engrave with. Thanks so much…
Paul W.
“Hi Folk at SCM. Here is my first attempt at wood engraving. I love this tool. It is just like drawing with a pen!

I passed it out only to those who expressed a genuine interest and hopefully you should be getting some calls and even better orders. Thanks again for your support.

Bob
“I have enclosed pictures of some of the work I have been doing. As you can see, it is the perfect tool. I do sincerely love this tool, and I am extremely happy with what I can do with it. These are sheds I am engraving on. Again, thanks for your time
Nathan B.

“A reporter and cameraman from a local TV station interviewed me concerning my egg sculpting. During the interview, I talked about the SCM Company and your very fine high speed machine. The piece focused on me, and my eggs, and the day after, when the story aired, people began trying to buy the eggs

Ron C.
“One of my first orders was 300 mugs for a radio station, the salesman came in to sell me some advertising for our general store and I ended up selling him 300 mugs. I have a lot of repeat orders for mugs. I originally got into the engraving business to do wood; but from the time I did my first rose on a pane of glass, I haven’t done any wood yet.
Drest
“Here are some photos of urns we carve. We personalize them. We have standard or custom designs. The 400xs is so easy to use, we can add more detail faster than ever. The photos don’t do the carving justice. Thanks for a wonderful tool
