This is a kind of follow-up video to the Shake Pen video I uploaded recently. Onto the spring steel clip of the Shake Pen I etched a small symbol back then. As there were a lot of comments, asking how exactly this works and what this metal etching technique is, I decided to make a video about this process, explaining a little bit how I did it and what you need in general.
I'm not that much experienced with metal etching. I just dived into that subject for the Shake Pen project but I hope, that's an somewhat interesting video anyway.
This video is a little bit an experiment as I tried narrating the content for the first time. It's not hard to tell that I'm no native english speaker, but I tried my best. Let me know what you think about it in the comments. I will definitely not speak on every video, but perhaps sometimes when its more to explain in the video I will do in the future.

I really hope you enjoy this video, let me know what you think!
If you have questions or suggestions, write in the comments. I will read them all and try to reply.
