Before we start
- Wear safety goggles: When working with any kind of tool or equipment, it's important to protect your eyes. Wear safety goggles to protect them from any flying wood chips or debris.
- Secure the wood: Before you start engraving, make sure your wood piece is secured in place. This can prevent any slipping or accidents that may occur while engraving.
- Work in a well-ventilated area: Engraving wood can create a lot of sawdust and debris. Working in a well-ventilated area can help prevent any respiratory issues caused by breathing in the dust.
- Take breaks: Engraving can be a repetitive task that requires a lot of focus. Take breaks often to rest your hands and eyes, and to avoid any mistakes caused by fatigue.
- Practice on a scrap piece of wood: If you're new to engraving on wood, practice on a scrap piece first to get a feel for the tool and test out different techniques.
By taking these precautions, you can ensure a safe and successful wood engraving experience. Now let’s get started!
