1. Prep correctly and take the time to sand. No need to sand it to the bare wood with an electric sander. A 5 – 10 minute going over with medium grit sandpaper on a sanding block will do the trick. It can never hurt and will only help with adhesion. Sanding briefly over the surf...
I have a photoetch set (for the DML kit) that I thought of swiping some parts from, but realized that with the level of detail, I probably won't need it. The only 'regret' that I have is the kit does not come with a metal barrel, but the one piece plastic one looks pretty ...
Recently, I have started to create my own Brass Photo etched Parts using ferric chloride⇦this oneBayorAmazon[affil links]for the etch, and from previous uses on making my own electronic circuit boards a product called "Press-n-Peel Blue (PnPB)" as the resist (PnPB is a Mylar sheet wi...
Magnets don't stick to brass. It probably is brass or copper. There are countless brass polishes, and they work at all different speeds, but a rule of thumb seems to be that the warmth of the final color they leave is inversely proportional to their speed. If it's as hard as you ...
I will attempt to come close to recreating the photo. I still have another box of photos to sort through. There is actually 2 angles shot of this plane that I have found so far. I walked down the aircraft isle today whilst picking up some brass rod, and it just jumped into my hands...

He eventually designed a device he called the phonograph that had a brass cylinder wrapped in tinfoil, which rotated and moved lengthwise when turned by a hand crank. On one side was a diaphragm, or very thin membrane, connected to a needle. When sound waves were forced into the receiving...
Pulling the string also winds the brass spring, and the energy in the spring is what turns the disk to play the sounds. The only other part inside a See 'n Say is an incredibly nice governor that controls the disk's speed when it rotates. In this picture you can see a band wrapped...
I think it would be better (if you want quality) to get brass, glue it to a FR4 board, then etch it. Go extra thick on the FR4 substrate (or bakelite might be better). Then solder it to the PCB via pins.At least, that would be a strong solution. Kind of expensive maybe compare...
I did add some stick on metal ruler scales to the Aluminum channel for each axis- it makes it really easy to get rough measurements. I also made a dial indicator holder that is positionable so I can get really precise measurements from each axis. The indicator in the photo measures in ...
