Jkopel - You found her page… Isn’t her stuff amazing? (-: You seem to be familiar with the acid etch process… By any chance do you have a favorite method or chemical mix to suggest so I can get a result like this owl dog tag? She etches both sides of the tag with personalized name and address info, I imagine she can do a 2 for 1 with one acid bath.
I haven’t watched the videos I downloaded yesterday about etching metal with ferric chloride… If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Right now, I am leaning towards this process, IF you think this is how she achieved this owl etching…
Thank you for your replies. I wish I posted to this GlowForge thread a month ago!!! I’ve been banging my head trying to find a mechanical (machine) method to get this result. On another post, someone replied and mentioned a fiber laser… something I never heard of before, but the image he posted looked awesome.
I found out about the ferric chloride etching after visiting this web page:
She posts some pictures that look very similar to the dog tag…
Anyway, thank you all for the info and the replies.
