however, i made my own mask with a quilting square and some yarn and got a pair of safety goggles…
after i saw this tut, i actually bought that glass engraver you mentioned. one of my best friends turned 21 a couple weeks ago and i customized a shot glass including her birthday, horseshoes (she LOVES horses and teaches riding), and paisley/flowers that represented her hippie themed party. she loved it to (literal!) tears!!! thanks threadbanger!
Do you think you could do a glass etching episode using corrosive liquids instead of tools?
guess they would rather breath well then see well? i use safety goggles since the glasses do allow some particles to float around the openings…also can get some masks for auto body work fairly cheap at parts stores or even the dollar stores in this area…cheap vinly or latex disposable gloves and a rag also help to keep your hands and working surface free from glass dust
not really with any type of corded hand engraver it states to keep out of water to prevent electricution….but there are paste types that can be painted on after the design negative is in place that require rinsing afterwards…toxic to touch before rinsed but not glass particles in air
its really easy to use! its just like drawing with a big pen on glass!!
Engraving stores put glass objects under running water while etching to prevent the glass particles from going air born. Does this work with the hand engraver?
sweet! Hey How about some Valentines day ideas on how to make the day special?
does anybody knows the song of the threadbanger commercial that starts at 1:30?
Safety glasses?
00:23 i have that sewing machine in light blue!! i like her pink one bettter though(:
hey meg, what kind of sewing machine do you have and where did you get it?
yummy I’d drink one or three
ok. I don’t have any of that equipment. I’ll let others brew it for me then..
i use to help dad brew his beer
I don’t think my grandma was that cool
i used to do chemical etching on glass at school!
LOVE the beer thing! and the girl showing how to make it, she’s cute
look up mighty car mods, they are a AU based youtube show, they do some neat stuff.
Glass etching is super cool:D I etched a wine bottle for my friends 21 b-day. Costomizing it with her name and date of birth:D It was easy to do and beautiful.
ya gotta see everyones ID or your going to get in trouble!
