Took me a few rushed jobs to learn that.

Back in high school, my buddy got his skateboard deck engraved with his dog's name. I mean, I always thought that stuff was just for fancy gifts or whatever. But seeing how he never let anyone else ride it, like it was sacred, idk, it clicked for me. It wasn't about the object itself, but what it meant to him. Maybe it's just me, but that's when I got why engraving can make things so special. It's like putting a little piece of your story right there on the thing.

Totally agree, we caught some early wear in my buddy's 172 engine last year because of it. Those reports can save you from some nasty surprises down the line.
