Looks good Jamie, if you want it cleaner you'll need a plotter cutter. Nice work.

Sandblast is easier. Tip, put address # on separate stone because they change. Yes I've carved.

Looks good. I have a stone I want to do the same thing to. What kind of tools did you use? Yes what kind of tools do you use? I just have an electric 1/4" die grinder with cheap grinder bits from Harbor Freight and Amazon, and use a garden hose to keep them wet so as to not burn up the bits too fast. Like I said definitely not a professional set up.

Coincidence that its open to the book of Exodus ?? oh man that’s pretty good never noticed that! Lol To get back on point - I had an uncle who made a marker stone with family name for their front yard. He went to a monument company and had a stencil made. It was a plastic rubber with just the letters you want Etched in the stone cut out . You lay the stencil on the stone and hit it with a sandblaster and some type of aggravate Until you get the desired depth to the letters...It turned out very well. I don’t know what he paid for the stencil and you would have to have a sandblaster and air compressors... your way is definitely a lot more simple and low tech .I like that -now I’m half tempted to try it.
