    How to ETCH stuff into metal! (Brass, Copper, Steel) DIY Metal Etching

    May 10, 2021 /

    This is a simple way to accomplish fine, precise designs without needing a CNC or laser cutter. I use ferric chloride and Press-N-Peel blue, but I also show a DIY etchant mix and alternative to Press-N-Peel.

    Whycome he only has 175 subscribers?

    April 18, 2021 /

    In this video, I wanted to highlight another YouTube channel that I feel y’all would enjoy – “Cajun Craftastrophe”. What made me decide to talk about THIS particular channel, out of all the channels out there who could probably use a boost, was that his subscriber count was surprisingly low (175 at time of this video being made) and because he is making videos with a TON of heart and effort… on a regular basis. Inspiring stuff right here, y’all.

I got to realizing I was typing the same tips and tricks over and over, and felt like it was worth making a video on the topic. Here’s you some direct links to specific tips. See if there’s one you maybe aren’t familiar with, and check it out: 2:16​ JOOG your molds, tilt + tap4:52​ Mold VIBRATION5:22​ POWDER your molds6:35​ Resin PRE-SHAKE7:16​ Resin HIGH-POUR7:55​ SCREEN trick8:37​ FINGERTIP (and toothpic) technique11:22​ INJECT resin Almost every time I make a video, I realize there were things I should have mentioned.
