I had to learn a couple things:
- How to etch on metal by looking researching the GF community. The Cermark spray was expensive ($65) at JPPLUS.com. Lots cheaper than $100+ on Amazon.
- I couldn’t find the 1/2" OD fender washers like the ones my daughter bought. Fender washers have smaller center holes so they have more area to etch on. Found some 5/8" OD at BoltDepot.com (Fender washers, Stainless steel 18-8, #6 x 5/8").
- I bought 1 1/4" split rings from Tandy Leather and they got sprung when trying to slide on the washers. Ended up with cheaper ones from Hobby Lobby. Book rings would work too.
- Bought a 1" trigger snap from Tandy that is really too heavy. Still looking for a lighter one.
