Thank you Julie, that is very kind of you to say.

Beautiful work. Most don't know the planning that goes into etching. I used to do this in the 90's as a side business. I didn't have a plotter, and cut everything with a swivel knife. That and weeding took forever, but the results were great. I also had a little Paasche abrasive airbrush to etch gradients and shadowing. I couldn't get enough people to want the product though in my area, so I let it go by the wayside. I like your specialized cabinet too.

nice thing about the interwebs is you can reach thousands of potential clients. the problem with a lot of side gigs is the people wait around for work to come to them instead of going out and hustlin' (not that you did, it's just a general comment). then they don't have a legit business and treat it like a garage hobby. people actually still love this stuff, so i wonder if you got back into it you'd do better today....

Hi Chris, yes the glass is toughened glass. We usually do not have a problem with the glass shattering but it does happen on the odd occasion.

heh heh, i used to own a trophy/t-shirt shop. if i never weeded again i would be okay with that. this would take me most of ten minutes, but i've weeded... a lot. i never weeded blast resist, though. the ex did all the artwork, but seeing as how i don't do coreldraw i would have to outsource that -- certainly cheaper than RIP software and i'm not sitting for hours tracing outlines. fantastic results, looked very classy.

Whoa is that a harbor freight blast cabinet you modified to be able to slide the glass the back like that? If so that’s a great idea

Do you make and sell bespoke stencil?

Amazing that the oxide blast doesn't tear the vinyl And why did you blast and remove vinyl 3 different times?

Nice working

Love the background music!

That 100 % nice then plasma cnc What mil is template?

Hi, thanks for your comment. The glass etches more white the more it is blasted. It's a bit like airbrushing with paint. The black you can see is the clear glass with a dark background.

Nice video, thanks for sharing! Quick question...when you did the second round of blasting did you use the same grit and psi or did you change it so it looks lighter than the original blast or did you keep everything same since the original blast is getting hit twice which will make it darker? This sandblasting newbie appreciates any education you can provide!

Hi Imran, Thank you for your kind comment. The effect is achieved by blasting more in the area you want to be most etched and blasting less in the area you want clearer. This creates the gradient effect. It's all done by careful use of the sand blasting gun and is planned into the design. I hope this is helpful.

This is epic

I do sandblasting but the delicate hands l don't have. I have slow down, want to move to fast slower is not my thing but l actually slower it down to carve. It's fun also love gold leafing too,

I like the vinyl sandblasting method but the issue is the same as an acid etching method. Aka the weeding process is slow/a pain sometimes. Is there any way one can cut through totally so he doesn't have to deal with weeding?

@janetteniles4396

5 жыл бұрын

Full cut-through would eliminate a significant feature that takes away from the "artistic" perception of a 3 dimensional design. Sorry, but that IS a major enhancement that makes the piece so appealing. There will be more risk trying to rely on pressure and an artistic eye to complete the 3D illusion (think: sneeze, blink, etc. at a critical moment). I'd be wary of destroying the piece and cost of materials.
