Generate a Linocut Design and Printing Plan for Beginners

You want to try linocut and print your own cards, but every guide assumes you already know which gouge does what. This hands you a step-by-step beginner plan: the tools and roughly what they cost, transferring a design onto the lino, the cutting technique and which direction to cut, and how to ink and pull a clean print. Simple enough for a first go.
