You need to build a shield now to keep you safer, LOL This is a great way to engrave, could be used to do some simple sketches as well.

I'm a little confused though. The title is etching copper, and you say etching brass (but correct yourself in the video), and then the guy giving the demonstration is saying "brass" all the time. Now it looks light enough in color to be brass, rather than copper, so I'm not sure what it actually is in the end? Can you clarify it for me please Ben? Cool tutorial on etching.

It could be a curse or advantage by using the metal with its weight. Either way I would be interested how it works out for you. Keep us posted Let us know how that goes for you Gil.

Went to the Home Depot and started to mess around with the pre made duct work. Been looking at and puzzling (is that a word?) out whether I can pop rivet or duck tape some flat sheet metal to some pre manufactured parts to make a usable reflector. Of course, I can wimp out and just buy brooder reflectors and screw in a 65 watt (equivalant to 300 watts) CFL but where's the fun in that? I decided to take this one step further.

Definitely share the designs I only ask you spread the word about MechMashup and I will be covering more stuff like this in the future I see also that I forgot to embed my instructable on this so it is now but here is the link http://www.instructables.com/id/Large-Photography-soft-box-on-the-cheap/ Ben Gil

I teach a photo class of wannabees and I would like to share your designs. I certainly will point them tho Mechanical Mashup. I will be using this lighting for still, portrait photography. Most cameras today allow us to balance for the light so it isn't even necessary to buy the 6500K bulbs. I am thinking about closing the reflector in to make it a true soft box. I've used Dean Collins "Tinker Tubes" designs for close to 30 years. It's nice to see that someone still remembers them.I hope to see more from you guys.

Who's hosting the feed on this page? It's really slow, taking about 30 minutes of buffering to play the whole show. I'm on Comcast but even it isn't that slow (usually). Don't think I'm complaining about the episode! Thanks for the treat - once again a smile on my face.
