    As an Etch-A-Sketch artist I hold Mr Cassagens in high regard. Thank you Mr Hoefer for your recognition of his invention. I think more people should try to learn the skill of drawing on an E.A.S.. It is a great way to develop motor skills.

    You can not make Aluminum powder as is, since aluminum is very reactive, the moment you shave those powder they will also oxidize immediately and become alumina (or the way you say: aluminum rust (which is not exactly correct since rust is a word used specifically for iron/steel)) or have a thin layer of alumina covering all the outer surface depending on the size of the powder of course. it should also be noted that it is good that the powder can not stay as aluminum dust due to the same very reactive nature as if the toy had aluminum powder the moment you drop and it leaks oxygen inside it will become a bomb with fine powder inside which is the maximum surface area for the least material. Great video, just wanted to share these additional information :)

    would a thin film of perspex/plexi on the inside of the glass help with the powder by providing some static cling? I'm also curious about the toner idea mentioned below. thanks for sharing.

    More info please! size pulleys, type wire on pulleys (I know you said in the video but I can't quite understand what you said even after replaying it a hundred times), measurements for placement of pulleys, cable wiring diagram, etc etc etc. I've looked everywhere I can to find out more specifics and everything just points back to this video. While we appreciate you making and posting the video it actually creates more questions than answers for those of us wanting to make one as you did. PLEASE help!.

    " Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent."

    Maybe I'm wrong but I think the Etch a Sketch uses some sort of iron powder mix, and a magnet attached to the point or stylus. The screen is somehow made of hexagonal cells. Anyways great video.
