It may be hard to believe but one of the hardests cuts to make with an engraver is the straight line. Curves tend to be a lot easier to cut. You could start with the hand engraver's but they take a lot of time to master, a somewhat quicker route is to invest in one of the power engravers such as the Ngravers, these will provide better control and give you quicker results, though they still require lots and lots of practice.
