How to Engrave a Baseball

In this post, we’ll show you how to engrave a baseball using a few simple steps and the right tools.

Introduction

Tools needed: A ball-turning tool, a center drill, an end mill, and a sharpie.

First, you need to find the center of the baseball. You can do this by finding the sweet spot, which is the softest part of the ball. Once you have found the sweet spot, use a center drill to make a small divot in the center of the baseball.

Next, use an end mill to engrave your design into the ball. Make sure to go slowly and carefully so that you don’t damage the ball.

Finally, use a sharpie to fill in any blank spots in your design. Allow the sharpie to dry completely before using the ball.

Materials Needed
