Custom brass engraving can be a fun and creative way to get your name or logo on something, but a lack of understanding can lead to unexpected results. Let me walk you through the process and show you some tips for creating personalized engraved items
The first thing you have to do is decide what type of engraving you want. There are three main types: punch-out, laser etching, and sandblasting. Punch-out engraving is done by using an instrument called a "puncher," which looks like a little hand tool with a pointed end. You hold it against the surface and push down on it with your fingers until the desired image appears in the metal. Punch-out engraving is used for small items such as jewelry or buttons. Laser etching is also done with equipment that looks like a hand tool, but instead of having one pointed end, it has two horns that slide into each other to form different shapes when pressed together. Sandblasting uses large amounts of sand that are blasted at high speeds onto metals, leaving behind an imprinted image on them. It's not as common today as punch-out or laser etching but still has its uses if you're looking for a more permanent way to add your name
