I'm brand new to this forum and I need some advice. I am a race director for a trail half marathon and I give out 90 awards each year (plus lots of other stuff.) I'm considering giving out wood pieces engraved with a logo and text. Would I be getting in over my head to purchase a sandblasting system and do them myself or best to contract them out? My wife does stained glass as a hobby so the unit would come in handy for her also. My main concern is the amount of time to do the awards and of course the quality of my work. I have no sandblasting, but some woodworking experience.
The next question is if it is possible for a newbie to produce a quality product in a reasonable amount of time, what should I look for in a system? A quick search of the internet and I see many systems and many prices. I've watched some of the promotional videos and they make it look easy. Somehow I think there may be more to it!
Thanks,
Steve B.
