Now if you meet someone you might like, you can say, "would you like to come up and see my etchings?"

Most Impressive Mr Rockwell!!  May I be so bold to ask what kind of stickers were used in your process, as I really want to have a go at etching brass and copper but every "resist" I use seems to fail dismally and I cant afford a laser printer. I have used a car battery charger and salt water, which makes the piece bubble and etch, but always turns out rubbish. ~SeVeN~

I'm using Etching Solution that sells at Radio Shack, and a brass darkener from a stained glass supplier. I leave the stickers and other masking covers on until I'm finished with the darkener, then take everything off and use a 2000 emery cloth and polish. |

Will, another Great looking creation! It's been bugging me...I seemed like I had seen a similar shape before. It just dawned on me, back in the days when I use to <Choke, Choke, Cough Cough> Smoke Cigarettes, there was a company that made metal sleeves to put a cheep plastic BIC lighter in. Made them look much more expensive. You might consider building some. I checked at www.lightercovers.com and they do not have anything to show up when I searched their site for steampunk. |

It would be easy to make those, but I just can't justify making smoking accessories |

Feel free to use this etching technique in your endeavor. I yield the smoking market to you. |

Now if you meet someone you might like, you can say, "would you like to come up and see my etchings?"
Well...that explains why that line never worked for me.... I thought the saying went " would you like to come up and see my itchings?" Look of disgust every time... either way nice etchings.. |

Something like this? I made this months ago and forgot all about it, just found it in the smokers cabinet! I didn't know anyone made them. You'll have to forgive the cog, I was at a loose end and got the urge to make something.  |
