To engrave metal, start by cleaning the surface with a damp cloth, then letting it dry completely. Next, trace a design onto the metal before securing it to your work surface with a clamp or vise. Then, apply the tip of an engraving tool or chisel to the surface of the metal on an angle and carefully chip away pieces of the metal. Try to begin on a straight line for your first attempt, keeping your tool at the same angle throughout the engraving. Once you’ve finished the straight portion, move on to more complex lines and shapes. To learn how to engrave on wood, read on! Did this summary help you?YesNo
