Handcrafted Engravings
Perfection in every little detail! I had the honor to engrave some brass details for Thunderbike Customs and their King of Kings Chopper 2020. Together with some of the best masters of their crafts and the magic of Andreas Bergerforth`s team, this incredible beauty was created. In this competition it’s all about finding the winner of the winners. Thank you all!

This is a something really special. I engraved through the black basecoat of this sporty narrow gastank and after my engravings my friend Chiko from Chikos Pinstriping did his magic. He covered my engravings with green and gold transparent candy paint. You can still feel and see all the details of my work. Hope you like it!
My most famous project so far was this unique Chopper for Ehinger Kraftrad. Uwe Ehinger designed the bike named „THE CHOPPER“ for the legendary Born Free Show in America. I had the honor to engrave the full 1947s Knucklehead V2 engine with an endless pattern. 172 stars, handengraved and blackened. The vision for this bike was to combine German craftsmanship with Chopper history and seventies lifestyle.
Big thanks for the support and trust to Katrin Oeding, Uwe Ehinger, Sugar Mountain Customs and US Custombikes!
This is my first fully handengraved aluminum gastank ever. I am super happy that I had the opportunity to create this beauty, in 80 hours of work for Frank from Independent Choppers and his beautiful Panhead Chopper. The base tank is casted in Germany by Wannabe Choppers.

This little Honda CB 250 G is my own bike and I call it „The Grin“. After a few years without any motorcycle I met Alex from Fellows Motorcycles and we decided to built my personal Scrambler project. I engraved the gastank through the original paintjob from 1975 and covered it with clear coat. Big parts of the fresh polished engine are handengraved and blackened as well. I decided to do a shell pattern to create some timeless asian style.
„La Esperanza“ is the name of this award winning radical bike from Engels Schmiede and Augustin Motorcycles. I engraved big parts of the engine with roses and skulls and it was really nice to be part of this unique project!
A vintage Harley Davidson Sparto tail light, handengraved with a small, ironic graveyard theme. See you soon.
Handengraved bike jewellery for a classical oldschool chopper. A set of engraved scrollworks and I can’t wait to see my work on it´s place. By the way – this is my first handlebar ever. Hope you you like it!
What you see here is probably my most challenging project so far. I did 14 Harley Davidson parts for one customer and his spectacular HD Lowrider. All of them are handengraved with the same endless pattern and dotted background removal. The design comes directly from the owner. It was hard sometimes to stay focus but I think it was worth it. All parts got fresh chrome after my engraving and I hope I can show you the complete bike soon
One of my first gas tank engravings is this handengraved and patinated Rex Como tank with original paint. The design isn´t painted brown, it is the raw, rusted engraving. I like things with a nice patina. Hope you like it too.
