Hi Merle
You can pick these up for around US$530.00m plus on ebay out of china . Mine is set up for 7-45 magnification which I think is ideal for engraving and inlay work. Try under swift microscopes. Mine has a roller beering slide stand and a video camera that I can put onto a screen if I want...

Hi Joe,
Thanks mate. I flicked it through to jeff to have a look at.

Hi Merle,
Yes that is exactly how I did it.I clamped the eagle to the work and used a scriber with a super fine point to mark the outline. Then routed it out with the dremel router close to the line and finished...

Hi Guys
Made an eagle icon to go on the headstock of the neck so am now commited to an eagle theme for the guitar. Took the photo with a USA quarter dollar coin to give some idea of the size. Believe it or not it took most of the day with a set back or two where things didn't quite...

I like the set up and the apron on the edge to keep the chips of the floor is a real good idea....
