This is a step by step build of an electro chemical etching machine. I use it to etch my logos into my custom knives. :rocker:

What a great project. Will make one of these up after we move into our new home.
Thanks,

Cool deal! Thanks for that comment. I use it on all my custom knives
I made one of these several years ago to do etching on AR lower receivers. It works great still. I have been considering using a microwave oven transformer for even faster metal damage. Thanks for posting.
