Materials
- Wood - I used 4mm birch plywood
- Metal type - I used Bodoni 48pt
Tools
- Laser cutter
- Digital caliper

Step 1: Create
Use the digital caliper to measure the metal types for your drawing.
The finished piece is 3 pieces glued together. The front is engraved + cut. The middle and back are just cut.
Cut + engrave settings depends on what laser cutter you're using.
Step 2: Finish
Sand, glue, varnish and enjoy.
