Hey Eric, just a correction... You do need AC as well! I've searched a lot about how to make a etching machine, I just didn't build one yet because I couldn't buy a 12v transformer yet. 😬 But they build it like this... The transformer is connected to the wall plug (through an on/off switch), then the output is connected to a 2 way switch with 6 legs. (I forgot its name right now...) Either way, you connect in the middle 2 legs, then the output are in the 4 others (2 from the right, 2 from the left, depending on the position of the switch.) Then, in one of the outputs you connect a bridge rectifier and a capacitor, for the DC output. You know? The reason is that, while the DC eats the metal, making the etch itself, the AC makes the metal dark. So you don't need the cold bluing stuff. Either way, you can make it in a small box, put a fuse in the input side and everything else. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Funny. I work for a company called EM (Electric Machinery) and the logo looks exactly the same. (But then again, there are only so many ways you could spell EM)
You're not the only one who mentioned this. I'm not sure what is going on. It's coming through plenty loud on my devices so I'm not sure what is causing it.

Thanks Eric, love the design
Thanks!
Thanks a lot. Very helpful and quick video. Awesome!

Audio level is low. My shop noise is up, so I'll try to rewatch later.

Nice. Dose this work on brass too?
As I understand it, it will work on brass. However, I haven't tested it so I don't know if any adjustments need to be made.
Thanks. Can you recommend a power supply. From Amazon or something like that. I'm not really sure I understand your process. I'm slow I guess.
This is the one I'm using: 120W Power Supply Adjustable DC... www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCN1QPY4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Awesome. Thanks!@@EricMeyerMaker
Very difficult to hear you, even with my hearing aids turned up.

Maybe a good video? Not sure, since I cannot understand what you are saying.
