Messing around with etching from pictures. Sorry for the low quality laptop cam pict, it's all I have here right now.
Nice etching, BW. That is some interesting shots. Sorry but I can't tell if that is Hendrix or Mandella :-[ .
It looks like you are using the locking tabs of the pots from the holes you have drawn out or am I missing something?
Nonetheless, it looks very good.
heh heh I don't think I've seen Mandela with such a schweet schweet 'fro. Tiz indeed Hendrix. I did use the tabs on that one but I usually don't. It's a Fuzz Face I built a while back. I've been revisiting some of my old projects with plain enclosures lately. I gotta order some parts and finish up a few things I have in a half ass state.
I kinda figured it was Jimi on the top but the bottom looks like something Nelson may have "Experienced" :) .
How much trouble is it to make this type of etchings
It's pretty much the same as pcb etching but with more sanding. Here's a tutorial about making a stencil:

This tutorial shows how to transfer and etch:

very cool stuff Binge. Seen this before, and still not exactly sure how it works. I've been considering a BYOC ESV fuzz face clone. If I get one, I might hook up with you for a Jimi etch.
No prob Howz. Lemee know whenever you're down.
I prefer to use a 100 gigawatt argon laser for my etching. Tomorrow I think I'll etch a neighbors house or two... ;) :D
I wish I had a laser etch system, much less sanding. heh eheh

My good friend and Keyboard player has a laser system ($$$$). He does some really fine marquetry / art with it. I like watching it run - it is hypnotic.
Your chemical etching looks pretty good too.
Tobe
If I had one of those I'm afraid I'd etch everything! hehe hehe
