No hurry on the pics...it's Sunday. And yes, you have all the bases covered. I like to try to do things right, but you look like you could be the designer of some lucrative items.

Re: Etchants and rust
I'm in Orlando.
Go to www.arrl.org and on the main page in tiny type you'll see
"hamfests" click on that and search. Most Florida hamfests are in

Re: Etchants and rust
It is a different project. Like Harvey White I used a linear slide (linear stage) to move the drill motor, only mine only had about 1 to 1-1/2 inches of travel to work with. Other than a video camera

Re: Etchants and rust
Craig's project and mine are two different implementations of the same
concept. I kinda threw technology at it, he made it so that everybody

Re: Etchants and rust
The only problem I found with them is resolution and frame rate. This
is standard NTSC.

Re: Etchants and rust
I have never been to a hamfest in my entire life. But I sure wish I had. Lots of deals I read about involve a hamfest. Are they a thing of the past or do they still have them? Are they more regional

Re: Etchants and rust
Mark,
? That is some interesting stuff right there. I have it bookmarked for later use. Who would have though you could convert a cheap laser printer to replace the laminator. I just got my Apache

Re: Etchants and rust
You sound like a high tech kind of hobbyist. I like! :) Of course I won't attempt that big of a project as I have many others on the back burner already. But I still have a great interest in it. And I

Re: Etchants and rust
A nice simple way to get a camera that doesn't tie up your computer is to use a USB camera that plugs into your smart phone. There are numerous apps for use with USB microscopes, boresights and

Re: Etchants and rust
Nice. I had a large enough hole (and programmed the drill) so that it
could go to a "change" position. So it has effectively three

Re: Etchants and rust
Nice job. Your's is more buildable by the average hobbiest, because
not only did you explain the steps, but you didn't really throw
technology at it.
I did, and could. Granted, it was technology
