Engraving is different to stamping,

Engraving involves incising with cutting tools (gravers) into the material, punching is usually done by preformed stamps/dies.

Sets of letter punches can usually be purchased in various sizes relatively cheaply

Hi! ive got a quick question on metal engraving - I was hoping to stamp some names onto a fire poker and thus was looking for advice or guides on the best practices. The only experience I have so far is using a chisel, taking a red heat and crudely marking some nordic runes into a ring - though the result was fine it was alittle hap hazard.

Best Regards,
