To those how have posted about etching metal , Thank You. This was an adventure and your post helped a lot. I picked up this charcuterie board with a titanium cutting surface at aldi. My concern about using an etching spray on it since it was a food surface wouldn’t be an option. But it turns out I didn’t need it . I have a plus unit and it did an amazing job.
Well executed!
Great result.
Oh, that’s very nice. Aldi can be an unexpectedly good place to pick up blanks for projects.
Nice
Nice find! Looks fantastic!
Looks great! I never would have thought about Aldi as a place to find projects. But I’ve only been to our local one once or twice. May have to go check them out again!
For ours we have to shop on Wednesday to get the non-food items that are really cool. Otherwise they sell out and they may or may not get more in again. If it’s something that goes viral people line up for them.
Have you seen the lines in Germany at both Lidl and Aldi for their weekly specials? Same deal – great deals on laptops, air conditioners(!), power tools, etc. but only a few per store then they’re gone.
Laptops and air conditioners? I thought they were mostly food with a few small household items like kitchen towels and measuring cups!
Europe is, well, europe-y. From Lidl’s German site just now:
Need an IR camera for 79,99 Euro (~$93 USD)???
OF course, ALDI Sud has some tools on sale, too:
That jigsaw for 14,99 Euro looks good…
I’m definitely going to have to check our Aldi out!
