How to Engrave Letters

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Tuesday, May/21/2024

1). Mark on your practice material, which should be a sample of your final engraving material, with your marker. Draw out the letters you want to engrave, and make sure that the style and shape of the letters is exactly the way you want.
2). Engrave the letters with your engraving tool. The engraving tool is basically a miniature, hand-held jackhammer. This means that you need to hold it steady while it gyrates, and allow the head to chip away the material to carve out the letters. Engrave so that you have a smooth depression for each letter and that the letters look exactly how you want.
3). Repeat this process on your main material. Once you're used to the material and you have the design set, engrave the letters again, this time on your base material instead of the sample.
