Great question! I'll have to look into that for you.

Currently I etch, make the frame, and add lights to the back of the mirror. Been trying to figure out how to turn my pieces into a clock.

Sounds like a cool project! Usually a clock is disassembled, then reassembled after drilling a hole into a mirror for the dials.

Hi! We used a hand held sandblaster with aluminum oxide!

That is an amazing job. I have a question what kind of sand or media grit you use

Hello Hanna and and John, thanks much for the excellent content but your video was extremely hard to watch due to the audio level and horrible music (?). Hanna's voice was loud clear, the "music" was very loud but John's voice was soft and hard to hear unless my volume control was advanced making the rest of the audio unbearable. I found myself with my hand on the volume knob turning it up and down the entire time. Just my input for your future videos.

man i would have just used my cricut machine to cut stencil in vinyl. great work still

Yes, glad to quote any project you're working on!

Makes you think,,,

Por favor usen un gabinete para sandblast. Protejan sus pulmones. A la plantilla de plástico le pueden aplicar por detrás pegamento en aerosol. Así se ahorran un paso y la pueden reutilizar. He grabado muchos espejos así.
