a while ago for a print making class I was carving designs in to records and then pressing them



now because I am not in that class I don't have access to a press
BUT
I still want to carve in records

here's the question:

*is there a way to carve a design in records so that it goes all the way through and so that the record doesn't break?
*could I use one of those wood burning tool things (or something similiar)?
*does anyone have a suggestion on how I can do what I've been doing but make it look good without pressing it?

(the way I had been doing it is just kind of scratching away so unless it's pressed it doesn't look very interesting because the actual scratched picture on the record is hard to see)

this may not make any sense as I am utterly exhausted
