    A client came in and showed me this picture of the engraved stainless steel piece that my dad had done in the past for them for a groundbreaking ceremony.  The client needs 30 more done.  I have not done this yet and would love your tips/tricks of...
    -where to purchase polished stainless steel
    -how do I nicely bend it around the handle
    -what is the best way to attach? I see the two screws in the photo but do I also glue on?
    -any other helpful info

    Thank you!!!

    Find someone who has a slip roller or invest in one.  That is the best way to curl your sheet metal.  Our industry supplier, Accucutter, offers a nice one.  There are other metal fabrication companies who offer them as well.
