      The first step is always to spray the special 
      glass mixture onto the mugs as it's the glass micture that will melt into 
      the metal to give the permanent engraving... 
      
       
      
        
      You can see that due to this special mixture 
      Billy needs to wear special gloves and a face mask 
      
       
      
        
      It's then back to the laser where a sepcial 
      holder is placed in the laser and Billy goes through a whole series of 
      tests to ensure the engraving will be done correctly. This also involved a 
      special pass with a low red light so he can eyeball that the cut will go 
      on the correct place on the mug 
      
       
      
        
      Computer is interfaced with the laser 
      
       
      
        
      And there you have the finished product which 
      is then washed and the final step is to dry and polish it for presentation  |
