MRItravis 26 Posted January 15, 2015 I bought my cutter in September and started glass etching in November. I had never done any of this before. I figured out I love etching Glass! Here is some of the stuff that I have done. I build all the my own frames and bases also. Any tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Travis The first thing I cut with my cutter Glass etched with oak base and led edge lighting. Did this for my wife for our Anniversary, Etched then painted and used rub-n-buf for the gold and silver etched mug for work Edge lit etched mirror edge lit etched harley mirror Edge lit bar mirror 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xpaperman 719 Posted January 15, 2015 I too like the edge lit stuff....always have. I swear one of these days I am going to try it. I just need to slow down some and find out where to buy those dang lights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kcross47601 13 Posted January 15, 2015 Is it difficult to build the edge lit frames? The lighting looks awsome and I also like the wine bottle you did for your wife. Was she surprised?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MRItravis 26 Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks for all the kind words. Xpaperman - I get the LED strips off ebay. 3528 or 5050 waterproof Led strip lights. Kcross47601 - the frames are built just like you would a normal picture frame. I just add a bit of a recess for the strip to fit into also. I have been tinkering with wood work for quite awhile. My father was a carpenter. These frames are built out of old fence pickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MRItravis 26 Posted January 15, 2015 My wife loved the wine bottle. She refuses to drink it. Lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted January 15, 2015 Your etching is wonderful and your vinyl work is crisp and clean too. Nice work. What equipment are you running? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MRItravis 26 Posted January 15, 2015 Wildgoose- I am using a sc series 25" cutter. I had no clue when I started what to get, I only wanted a vinyl plotter to do stencils for gun receivers. I didn't want to spend to much. I know there are better cutters out there and eventually I would like to purchase a servo motor cutter of some type, but the sc has done everything I want so far. I am using a harbor freight blast cabinet that I modified to do the etching. I am in the process of building a site blaster to go to sites and do etching on site. (Hopefully my thoughts on this will work. If it pans out I will post information on the build.) Travis 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
