How do I make engraved metal signs?


I would like to make signs like this for my garden, but I don’t know where to start. Is this something for the lasers? Is there another tool we do or don’t own that does this? It’s a metal sign that’s black on the front and silver (uncolored) on the back with the words engraved .

Best way I know to do this is to spray paint a metal sign, then engrave the paint away on the laser. Finish it with a spray clear coat to protect it.

I’m actually doing the same for my garden soon, coincidentally! Let me know if you feel like collaborating on ‘em.

Yes, let’s! When would you like to meet up?

Laserable metal blanks are also a thing you can buy. I haven’t used any.

Ooh, Amazon has some real pretty black laserable business cards too!

I think @jamesfreeman tried out the laserable business cards (?)

It looks like I can do this on my Cricut Maker too! I’ll have to do some comparison tests and share.
