Good luck!
The Sharpie is a great tip. It is certainly a low cost solution. As for the Columbian, letter highlighting is done and the next step is to make the handle and the front jaw. It has been too hot in the shop for lengthy projects and that is really making things drag out. The tropical storm will probably cool things off for the next week and that means more shop time. I hope to have a big reveal soon. Thanks for your interest.
