Behind The Engravings (EP2): Canvas Engraving By Hand!

What happens when you trade spray cans for paintbrushes, precision for guesswork, and a smooth workflow for… well, real life? In this companion episode to my latest YouTube video, Canvas by Hand, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really took to hand-paint a canvas for laser engraving. Spoiler alert: it involved streaky paint, setting mistakes, second-guessing, MDF melt-downs, and the kind of deep sighs only a midnight engraver knows. I’ll share the things that didn’t make the cut, the moments I almost gave up, how many canvases I actually had to repaint, and why I still think this messy, frustrating process might be worth trying (if you bring your patience and a backup canvas). Also: my wife makes a cameo in the video. Did she laugh? Did she judge me silently?
