Cut them by hand with engraver's tools. Three letters wouldn't be too
bad. Use one of the typefaces made for engraving.

John, are you suggesting that the metal engraving field has special
typefaces? Didn't know.

Can I make my own engraving tools out of HSP? I do have some pieces that
are way too big to ever become a lathe tool for my size lathe.

What's HSP? High speed potmetal? g

HSP is bad typing. I meant HSS, high speed steel.
I would still like to know what YOU know about special fonts and engraving
tools.

Thanks,

Ivan Vegvary
