I have a bad habit of turning “I wonder if I could..." into a personal challenge. Testing ideas, building things, fixing machines, and learning along the way.

Some work. Some fail. All are worth trying. We have moved to Ballard, WV! Finleys Dairy Bar is open 7 days a week through the summer serving 16 flavors or hand scooped ice cream and shakes, juicy burgers, hotdogs, and more!

These are my new stained glass style prints! They're printed directly onto clear acrylic with simulated lead framing to give them the look of traditional stained glass without the weight or fragility of real glass.

The colors really come to life when light shines through them, and the pictures don't do them justice!

I can do holidays, wildlife, scenery, state-themed designs, and even custom designs if you have something specific in mind.

Want one of your own? Check out the designs available on the website or send a message for a custom order! I'm always up for trying something new.

I am looking for people to beta test some software I've been developing.

Over the past few weeks I've been working on a web-based system called THP Studio, designed specifically for small businesses, crafters, print shops, and people who make and sell custom products.

It started as a basic pricing calculator for my own equipment and in true Harvey style it has turned into something significantly bigger lol

Right now it has calculators for UV printing, laser engraving/cutting, wide format printing, paper printing, and jobs that involve multiple processes. It also has equipment and material management, customer estimates, project tracking, and production management. I'm working on adding more calculators, including one for people who outsource products or services.

One of my biggest goals with this is to make pricing easier for people who don't necessarily have a business background. I've seen people spend $10 on materials, put 20 minutes of work into something, and sell it for $12 without realizing they're basically working for free. I want this to be something that can walk you through your costs, help you figure out what you should be charging, and show you what you're actually making.

I'm currently using it myself, but it's hard to catch problems when you're the person who built the thing 🤣

I'm looking for people who would be willing to actually use it, try different features, and let me know what works, what doesn't, what's confusing, or what you think is missing. You don't have to be particularly tech savvy. Honestly, feedback from people who aren't would probably be some of the most useful.

It's free to test, and I'm planning to give qualifying beta testers 3 months of Premium access when the finished version launches.

If you're interested, you can apply here:

Feel free to share this with anyone you think might be interested, especially people who make or sell custom products.

🛠️ **Have an idea for a custom project? Let's see what we can make!**

At **The Harvey Project**, we have more capabilities than we could ever fit into a product catalog, and we want people to know that we're not limited to the items listed on our website!

We offer **laser engraving, laser cutting, UV printing, and more**, with equipment capable of working with a huge variety of materials.

🔥 **Laser Engraving & Cutting**
- Custom engraving on metal, wood, acrylic, leatherette, glass, and more
- Precision cutting of compatible materials
- Metal marking, engraving, and surface texturing
- Custom signs, parts, tags, ornaments, jewelry, and decorative pieces
- Small metal item rust removal and surface cleaning

🎨 **Full-Color UV Printing**
- Print full-color designs, photos, logos, and artwork directly onto many different surfaces
- Customize tumblers, signs, plaques, metal, acrylic, wood, and more
- Create detailed, colorful designs that traditional engraving can't reproduce
- UV DTF transfers for decorating suitable items with complex shapes

⚙️ **Custom Projects & One-Off Jobs**

This is the part we really want to emphasize!

**You don't have to order something we already sell.**

Maybe you have a metal part that needs cleaned, an unusual item you'd like engraved, a piece of material you need cut to a specific shape, or something you'd love to have a full-color design printed on.

Maybe you've got an idea but aren't even sure whether it's possible.

**Ask us!**

We can't promise that every material or project will work, but we're always willing to look into new ideas, experiment with compatible materials, and see what our equipment can do.

Whether you need **one custom piece, a prototype, or a batch of items**, we'd love to hear what you're working on.

📩 **Send The Harvey Project a message** with your idea, a picture, or a description of what you're looking for. We'll help figure out what's possible and provide a quote.

🌐 **www.theharveyproject.com**

**If you can imagine it, there's a good chance we can help you make it!**

Today's project, a new stained glass design. The picture does not capture how awesome this thing really looks!

Learn something new everyday! Today I learned that I can print directly onto footballs!

Decided to see what the new MOPA fiber laser could do with a rusty old pair of pliers.

This was the first test, and I'm pretty impressed with the results. One pass, no chemicals, no scrubbing, and no cleaning afterward. The after picture is straight off the laser bed.

Turn the sound on too. The laser sounds pretty cool while it's working.

Today's little project, stained glass! Laser cut clear acrylic with textured UV print. They look and feel a lot like real stained glass, but not nearly as heavy or fragile! The lines of the "frame" are raised layers of ink to simulate the look and feel of a real lead frame.

Episode 1 of **Will It Print?**

For this one, I wanted to see how well direct UV printing holds up on aluminum sublimation license plate blanks using the xTool Omni O1.

I put them through some scrubbing, standing water, and scratch tests to see what would happen.

Overall, I was pretty impressed! The main design held up well, but I did manage to lift one small detail with my fingernail.

Still don't know how they'll hold up to long-term outdoor exposure, but that's something I'll be testing.

What should I try printing on next?

Todays project is decorative license plates. Direct UV printed on aluminum.

Made up a couple of designs for James Monroe and Peterstown to see how they'd turn out. Pretty happy with the results so far! I've been doing some scratch, adhesion, and water testing on them, and so far they're holding up really well.

I'm planning to make these available with different sports, mascots, names, numbers, etc.

Comment below and let me know what other schools or designs you think would look good on these!
