I built one of those etchers & I have not been in the shop for awhile. Need a refresher. Is it AC setting for making the mark & DC for darkening or the other way around? Thanks in advance.

That's a drill press! Looks like that was not an easy move just getting it in there! Nice though!

Going to have to look you both up one of these days. I got a shop just NW of Jax in Taylor. I am in the process of insulating my shop a few pieces at a time as the economy has hit home hard. Working just part time now. Not enough $$ for all the supplies I need to work on knives in my spare time...

Thanks to the both of you!

I had buffed a Damascus blade until you could hardly see the lines. I heard I can dip it into a solution to bring back out the original look. Can someone fill me in on the whole method for doing this? Thanks:les:

How long do you dip the blade in the ferric chloride solution or vinegar if using that? By the way, beautiful knife ! (from an x coasty)

Like the style & looks great.

Do you have any sheaths for sale?

Please refresh my memory. I built my own etcher. Which setting is for etching the mark AC or DC and which setting is for darkening the etch? Thanks in advance. Been out of the loop for awhile.

Beautiful Knife, & love the copper guard!

Thanks! I appreciate the help.

Been out of the loop for awhile. How long do you hold the pad down on the DC & AC settings when using the block w felt pad?:les:

Question: How long do you hold the pad down on DC & AC when using a block w felt pad?

Very Unique and authentic looking! Great Job!

Ok! Success at last, it was just a matter of knowing the switch number sequence. Now that I got it working what is the sequence you go through. Turn unit on, then turn switch 2 on and hold pad for 3 to 4 seconds how many times? Then is there anything you do before you throw switch 2 in the other...

Rusty I turned the unit on and the red light came on for only a second then went off. I got something wrong. Could you please go over the wiring of the switch in simple terms for me again such as Position 1 wires to blank, and Position 2 wires to blank and so on? Thanks Turkeyshooter I double...

Since you have had a little time to figure this electro etching out, is there a step by step instruction process for getting a good etch? I built my etcher, got my stencils from Ernie, now am not sure exactly how the process goes. Turkeyshooter

Thank You! Thank You Rusty, that will do it. I need help when it comes to this sort of thing until I get it down in my hard head! I appreciate it very much. !!!:D:)

Not that simple. Please look at the directions on page 3 of the tutorial at Chriscrawfordknives.com and you will see what I am dealing with. Thanks for any help.

I decided to build the electro etcher myself. When my DPDT toggle switch with center off position came in there are no numbers on the legs. Just number 6 is numbered. I have gotten to the point where I am suppose to wire the wire on the red banana jack to wire number 2 on the DPDT toggle switch...
