    Gents. Look at this link below. In Polish language, but photos are really amazing. THIS is great work and amazing eching by ferric chloride.

    For those with Google translate installed, it is really worth the few minutes to read and comprehend the usage of resist ( asphaltum varnish) and the staging of resist and of etches to achieve varying depths.
    Thanks Lewy!

    Spectacular craftsmanship.
    Thank you for sharing your etching technique.
    My father was an engineer. He used to tell me that sharpening a straight razor is like trying to build a ladder to the moon out of a roll of aluminum foil.
