[Swansea Hackspace] Leather engraving

[Andy Rush]

As long as you're 100% certain it's leather, it is most definitely doable. I've done it myself, with the hackspace laser cutter. Raster engraving at low power is to be the best option.

It stinks, though, and given the nature of raster engraving, it takes a while. And it'd also help to have a scrap to test on.
