Finished a set of adjustable try squares, modelled after the perfected design of Mr Clenton. The small one is a solid brass body.

Nice metal work Brad. How did you etch your name on the blades?

Thanks. For the etching, I have made an electro etching unit (similar to the one in this tutorial http://chriscrawfordknives.com/#/electro-etching-unit/4535265119)

The one I built (just as in the link) is AC/DC marker/etcher unit, but you can make a very simple DC etcher out of any DC power source you have (for example an extra battery charger like a laptop charger).
