Synopsis

About This Book
This book is about electro chemical etching, the process of using low voltage electricity, electrolyte, and a stencil to decorate stainless steel, including tumblers, tools, and knives. You can add text, drawings, monograms, and more to carbon steel and stainless steel.

Etching and Marking
Decorations can be on the surface - a mark, or cut into the steel - an etch.

Easy To Make Etching Machine
You can assemble a low cost, very good etching machine with easy step by step instructions for buying the right parts, then putting them together. The only tools are a wire stripper and a screwdriver. No drilling or soldering or electronics experience is needed. If you are more adventurous, you can use batteries, transformers, or thrift shop adapters, and even make your existing machine work better if it does not control power.

Easy To Make Stencils
Stencils are the hard part of electro etching, but I explain how to make thermal stencils and screen stencils, and some of the ins and out of vinyl stencils. The thermal stencil is my favorite and works every time.

How To Electro Etch
Getting good results is easy with a good machine and stencils and electrolyte. A mark is dark and mostly on the surface, but is very durable, and is pretty quick. An etch cuts into the surface like an engraving, and takes a little longer. The knives, tumblers, and tools will keep their decorations for decades or longer.
