3 Step Process for Engraving Images on Slate - Bonus Info on how to reuse previously engraved slate

In this video I will share with you my journey of trying to obtain the best results for engraving images on Slate Charcuterie and Slate Coasters with a CO2 Laser. i spent several hours/days watching other people’s YouTube tutorials to try and learn what others discovered works best. I then spent several hours practicing and wasted more than a few slate pieces trying to get my photos to a level I thought was acceptable. This video will cover the highlights of what I learned and a 3 step process I am now using for engraving images on slate.

During my journey I learned that I could reuse slate that I had previously engraved, hence all of my previous practice gave me more practice pieces. I will share the process I learned for reusing slate that was previously engraved so you don’t throw away something that is still able to be used.
