Thread: Techniques for engraving and etching brass
22/09/2009 11:29:52
My wife wants me to make a conventional horizontal sundial for the garden and I have spent some time learning how to calculate the angles required for our latitude and longitude. I've made a mock-up in cardboard which works excellently (using the necessary Equation of Time corrections). Can anyone suggest a source of clear and accurate information about incising the lines and numerals into brass? I guess photoetching would be best and I think it is possible to make iron-on acid resit using an inkjet printer...
Regards,
