QuestionI'm going to be engraving blocks of wood with a lot of text that needs to stay consistent throughout the entire design. How can I do this without any expensive tools or materials?Community AnswerAs far as the layout goes, you can easily transfer a printed image to the surface by using carbon transfer paper or a toner print and acetone. From there, your most valuable tool will be patience. If you have access or can pay someone for their services, a CNC router or laser engraver is the quickest and most repeatable method for engraving.
