engraved decks

what i need to make a engraved deck, and how i do it
??

youll need a chizel and a deck and you need to verry cairfully chizzel in to the deck 1 ply deep

you need to buy a brander or have one custom made and heat it up and brand the deck lol

make sure you dont make the deck then do it or you might mess up.

you cant do it when the deck isnt made yet
do it after you cut it out and drill the holes

i personally like to use the dremel but you must be accurate and it isnt easy. you need lots of practice

true^

Well, you kindo of have to make the deck first because if the board isnt made and you engrave it into 1 ply then when you glue it in the mold it will spill through the engraved part. DO IT AFTER THE BOARD IS made and use a chisel or I have a wood burning kit where YOU CAN BURN engrave the design in. lol

i just took an exacto knife and it works goods just be careful it hard to do

Well what you can do is I guess when you've molded the deck you can use a razor blade, maybe heat up the razor, haha. Or you could use a dremmel tool, which is a kind of electronic drill but it has different bits for different uses. I would suggest using like a wood burning kit, like what I have, I just haven't gotten around to trying it, since it is like my last priority.

stop bumping old threads

I've got a chicago rotary tool, which is basically a dremel. I haven't engraved a deck yet, though.

^ Fail.

what's fail about it?

You bumped from Nov. 12.

You can use alot of things you can use a dremel,a razor blade or a Mill. Dremels are the most common way tho because there cheaper to engrave with than a mill also there more better quality if you have practice look on ebay for a dremel and youtube on how to do it,

hand dremels can be really hard to work with, they might cut too fast for the material you are working with..
