This is an incredible video. Super helpful. A question: do you know what kind of metal you used for the scrap piece of metal for the anode portion? Sorry for the question, but I want to be sure I do it right. Thanks!
I got a star on my car and one on my chest A gun on my hip and the right to arrest I'm a guy who's the boss on this highway So watch out what you're doin' when you're drivin' my way If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know I'm workin' for the state, I'm a highway patrol [Verse 2] Well, you'll know me when you see me 'Cause my door's painted white And my siren screamin' and my flashin' red lights I work all day and I work all night Just to keep the law and order tryna do what's right If I write you out a ticket, then you'd better drive slow I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm a highway patrol [Chorus] I'm a highway patrol, a highway patrol My hours are long and my pay is low But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm a highway patrol [Verse 3] If you're drivin' too fast, like you shouldn't do You can bet your boots, I'm comin' after you If you wanna race then get on a race track 'Cause if you try to run away, I'm gonna bring ya back I'm here to keep all the speeders drivin' slow I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm a highway patrol [Chorus] I'm a highway patrol, a highway patrol My hours are long and my pay is low But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm a highway patrol [Outro] I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm a highway patrol
I've done this before this video was made. When you want really good details, don't cut a stencil. I use photo sensitive circuit board resist. It very easily gives you small or large details, is easy to expose (light bulb) and attach. You just need a transparent sheet of vinyl to print your image on, place it over the photo-resist, expose it to light and rinse the resist with water.
Thanks! My son and I did a test etch tonight on a strip of aluminum before doing his 7mm08 receiver/AR10, hopefully tomorrow. We built an acrylic dam just as you did sealing with hot glue and hung the second electrode about 1/2 - 5/8 inch above the work piece. We used a spare UPC 12 volt battery which provided right at 2 amps. We started etching too long, and our second test at 3 minutes was almost perfect but a little deep. Thus we will use 2 minutes 30 seconds just as you did. I guess since our current, voltage and salt concentration matched yours, it's not surprising that the time would also. Oh, the solution got to 100℉. Great help!
Cool video man, it turned out great. If you want to check out just how detailed you can actually be when etching, check out Berg Knife making on UA-cam. Some of the details in the stencils he uses is almost nerve-wracking, but dam do they look good when it all comes together.! Cheers
Very nice, my family has been in the sign business since 1932 my grandpa, my dad, now myself. My only suggestion is to use masking tape on the corners when you're weeding your stencil it holds it perfectly flat and still on your table , it also holds it while masking and use a squeegee to rub the transfer tape down...... It's worked for us since vinyl came into vogue in the 1970s
I just finished doing this myself and it turned out amazing! Thank you for this video! Couldn't be happier with the results. Now I want to etch everything hahaha
Could you use etching substance to etch all for cerakote?
Cool video
What did you use for the electrode that was suspended in the electrolyte ?

Hi will this work on aluminum frame pistols?
Nice color fill and bam!!
That’s pretty cool
What was the point of the tools if you gonna do it with your nails?
CHP super job merci.

hello your video is amazing and I wonder if I can use a simple welding machine to generate the electricity I need
You need to change the battery in the smoke detector
Very informative, thanks for posting.

Well done sir
That logo is no patriot's logo. (triple six) gross

Can you use fingernail polish instead of vinyl sticker sheets?
kool
So does that mean i can paint into the etched part ?
sounds like you need a battery for your smoke detector.

Very freaking cool brother....thank you for the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great informative video super pumped and confident I can etch some small projects after your video. Thanks
Beim nächsten mal bitte vorher informieren wie das geht.Das sieht richtig scheiße aus.
Pretty cool hack. Thanx for the video.

that was cool.
Can you nickle plate over your etching and still see it?
How thick is the plexiglass you’re using?
Holly crap, you know you can buy a pro etching kit for around 300-400$ right. It will save you so much time and money!
What's the name of this song?
Thanks for sharing. Great info.
My guy out here still on Windows 7.....
Thank you very much enjoyed watching your talent and how to use write down your email address see you guys!
Instead of plexiglass, have you considered cutting pvc pipe rings? Just a cheaper thought.
Man that was painful to watch. 30 min video with 5 min of possibly useful info.
Did he cut out the snake?
Nice job!!
What brand is your transfer tape? Link?
I just finished doing this myself and it turned out amazing! Thank you for this video! Couldn't be happier with the results. Now I want to etch everything hahaha
can this be done to a anodized lower ?
Has to be bare metal.
Using salt (NaCl) to etch produces deadly chlorine (Cl) gas.
FREAKING AMAZING!! wow thoroughly enjoyed the video, never knew this was possible
You should have kerned the "read" in Tread... otherwise, a most excellent tutorial! Thanks.
Nice, I'd like to see end result after anodized
Nice work. That's a hell of a poor man's router. Please fix the battery in your smoke detector. It's chirping..
What tools did you use for that fine 'picking'? I am so going to try this.
That smoke detector battery alert is killing my ADD
I noticed your 80% is plane billit, if I have a 80% with a finished coat of paint on it, will this effect the outcome
