Ha, it didn't take any skill. It's CNC machine that uses a laser to do the etching onto the wood. Literally took me 15 minutes to setup and about an hour for the machine do its thing.

This is still very cool.
Can it etch metal? Could see a new set of HOBO nickels on the market if so.
Or really nice copper engravings.
