Etched enclosures

[lars-musik]

Thanks!

and made a slow etch mixture to keep the fine details....takes longer but worth it.

That's strange, because since a few etches I take the opposite route - I heat my HCl+H2O2 mixture and quicken the etch, so I don't underetch. Mind you, I do it under a fume hood, because the gases are quite dangerous. This one took about five minutes and is relatively deep.

im still on the ferric......the last etch i did was quite fierce, so i mixed it back a little

different boxes, different mixtures of metals..etc.

is that your finger print

No, it's Sean Connery's

If you want to go full Connery you should label the controls Shquelch, Shweep, Shmooth...

This is stunning! If i had a hat, i'd take it off sir!

I laughed and then realised I'm German and did not get it. Merde. Need to see the movies in English again.

This tells you everything you need to know...and more.

Quite frankly it's one of the strangest things i've ever watched on youtube, and that's saying something.

But here it is: my finest etch ever.

And frankly that's a very high bar, as every single one of your etches is excellent. But I have to agree, you really outdid yourself on this one

[thomasha]

That is an unbelivable etch! and only took 5 minutes?

[bamslam69]

Wow, it's me again. I don't feel so terribly productive but the last post was mine, too....
But here it is: my finest etch ever. As you can see, a triple pedal: Catalinbread VarioBoost (first or last switchable), Klon, BB Preamp (or rather Fluxdrive).



Even the small lettering for the frequency scale came out, I am astonished myself.

Damn that detail is astounding!
I've only done one etch so far... seeing works like this is motivating.

my latest build.....the headlights light up as you play...clipping diodes.

And you didn't want to show us pics of that? Great-looking build though, I always love your etches.

[stallik]

Guys, your etches are getting better and better!
My first one was great but it's been fast downhill since

No guitar plugged in, in any of those shots.   

However, knowing Rob's skills with light-shows, I'm sure he could rig something up that goes off automatically when the input jack is empty.

i'm working on it....ha ha.

funny ive been playing a lot with solar light stuff lately...

running an attiny with neopixel leds....which are really nice...

each led programmable etc...

i have a set of warm white leds, and a strip of neopixels, (doing a rainbow pattern)

charging up during the day, and come on auto or not at night....really cool.

also working on a good solar phone/tablet charger too after cracking open an old laptop battery to find 6 nice 18650 batts in there.......solar>into 4650 charge module..into batt....then out to a poundland usb charge circuit... ...im sustainable lol....

Here's an electro-etch I did. Didn't come out perfect, but I'm happy with it for my first time!
It's a Shin-Ei FY-2 clone with a tone knob (really a mid control).

Image links need to be to actual pictures (so usually ending in .jpg or .png or similar).  Here's one I managed to get from your Google photo by clicking on the thumbnail:



Or just use something like imgur.com for your pictures.  It's easy and free and gives you exactly the IMG tags you need to embed here.

BTW, nice build.

Thanks for the heads up! And thanks for the compliment!

Really nice work everyone. I really dig Deadastrnaut's latest. Looks like the front end of a '57 Chevy Bel Air if I'm not mistaken. I made one last year of the tail end of '57 Ford Fairlane. A clone of a CreamPuff inside. Keep up the great work everyone!

Here's are a few pics of a more recent enclosure I've completed.
