00:00This is a flat circular disk. This will be the base for our new versatile tool
00:06As you can see, the spoon goal is now a flat reflective surface
00:08Next, I'm using a marker to draw a line across the handle
00:11With the spoon back in the vise, positioned exactly along my marked line, I'm using the hammer again
00:14This time, I'm bending the spoon sharply against to create a strong angled edge
00:16This angle will be essential for the etching process
00:21With the handle now flatter, I'm marking another on the handle, closer to the tip, and drawing an additional line
00:25These markings indicate where I'll be drilling a hole and making a cut
00:27Which are essential for connecting the different parts of our custom tool
00:29Using a power drill, I'm carefully drilling a small hole through the metal
00:31It's important to keep a steady hand here to ensure the hole is clean and properly placed for our assembly
00:38After drilling, I'm marking another spot on the spoon's flattened bowl
00:40This mark is where I'll be making a precise cut to separate the spoon's head from its handle
00:43With a mini grinder, I'm cutting the spoon to shape the blade
00:45I'm following the lines I marked earlier
00:49This is where the spoon really starts to transform into something useful
00:52Now, let's move on to our next item, this ordinary paintbrush
00:55I see a lot of potential in its sturdy wooden handle
00:57I'm using pliers to carefully peel back the metal
00:59Separating the brush head from the handle
01:00This leaves me with a clean wooden handle that can be repurposed into a new tool
01:07I'm marking the paintbrush handle, sketching out the new shape I want to create
01:09This will be for a custom scraper tool, so I need to define the contours carefully
01:13Using a hacksaw, I'm carefully cutting along the lines I just drew on the wooden handle
01:15This step shapes the handle to perfectly fit with the metal spoon component
01:17Ensuring a balanced and functional tool
01:19Leave a comment and let me know which country you are watching from
01:22It's great that we can connect and chat from all over the world
01:25This is our newly shaped wooden handle
01:27It's now ready to be combined with our modified spoon piece
01:29The design allows for an ergonomic grip, making the upcoming tool easy to use
01:31Now it's time to assemble the etching tool
01:33Next, I'm attaching the flattened spoon piece to a small wooden block using a screw and a drill
01:36This block acts as a sturdy intermediary, providing a solid connection point for both the spoon's head and the handle
01:40I'm using screws to fasten it tightly, creating a robust and ergonomic handle for the entire tool
01:48This completes the physical assembly of our etching device
01:50After that, I'm now preparing the shaped paintbrush handle
01:52I'm attaching the paintbrush handle to the wooden block using a screwdriver
01:55This step brings the two main components together, forming a complete and functional scraping tool
01:58The handle provides leverage and comfort
01:59And there you have it, a fully assembled custom scraping tool
02:01It's amazing what you can create from a few repurposed items
02:03Here, I'm preparing the electrical components
02:05I have some red and white wires
02:07I'm stripping the ends and attaching crocodile clips to the red wire
02:09Securing them with pliers
02:12This will allow for easy connection to a power source
02:14This will be our positive lead
02:20If you find this video interesting, don't forget to like, subscribe and turn on the notification bell
02:23So you don't miss any interesting ideas coming soon
02:39I'm repeating the process with the white wire
02:42Stripping its ends and attaching alligator clips and a metal gasket
02:47This metal ring makes it easy for our device to connect to the power source
02:54These wires will form the circuit necessary for our electro-etching process
02:57Connecting our tool to a power source and the object we're personalizing
02:59This will serve as our negative lead, completing the basic wiring for our electrochemical setup
03:02I'm attaching the red wire's alligator clip to one of the screws on the paintbrush tool handle
03:03I'm attaching the red wire's alligator clip to one of the screws on the paintbrush tool handle
03:07I'm attaching the red wire's alligator clip to one of the screws on the paintbrush tool handle
03:25Next, I prepared a piece of cloth and used a small rubber band to secure the cloth to the scraper end of the spoon
03:33This cloth will hold the electrolyte during the etching process
03:35Now for our final project, transforming this plain metal mug
03:37I'm using red tape as a base for our stencil
03:39This tape will act as a resist, protecting the metal underneath where I don't want the etching to occur
03:42With a utility knife, I'm meticulously cutting out the word coffee from the tape
03:44This creates my stencil
03:46Now for our final project, transforming this plain metal mug
03:48Now for our final project, transforming this plain metal mug
03:50I'm using red tape as a base for our stencil
03:52This tape will act as a resist, protecting the metal underneath where I don't want the etching to occur
03:54With a utility knife, I'm meticulously cutting out the word coffee from the tape
04:10This creates my stencil
04:22Precision is crucial here to ensure a clean and crisp design when we do the etching
04:25This takes patience, but the results are worth it
04:40Here's our secret etching solution, Coca-Cola
04:48I'm pouring it into a separate container
04:49The phosphoric acid and soda, combined with an electrical current, is surprisingly effective for etching metal
04:53I'm using a power tool battery as our power source
04:55It's robust enough for this electrochemical process
04:57I'm connecting the white wire from my tool to the negative terminal of a battery pack
04:59And the red wire, with the alligator clip, from the tool to the positive terminal
05:01Then, I'm attaching the alligator clip of the white wire to the inside of the stainless steel mug
05:08This completes our simple circuit
05:09This completes the electrical circuit needed for etching
05:11I'm dipping the fabric cover tool into the Coca-Cola
05:13And then gently dabbing and rubbing it over the coffee stencil on the mug
05:15The mug becomes one electrode
05:16And our scraper with the cola-soaked fabric becomes the other
05:18As the electrical current flows through the electrolyte-soaked fabric to the exposed metal
05:20It causes an electrochemical reaction
05:21Slowly etching the design into the mug
05:22You can see the reaction happening as the cola fizzes and darkens
05:24The electricity and the acid and soda work together to selectively remove tiny layers of metal
05:27Permanently etching the design onto the mug
05:29I'm moving it slowly and deliberately to ensure even etching
05:38After wiping away the remaining liquid and carefully peeling off the red tape
05:40The coffee text is beautifully etched into the mug
05:41A permanent and personalized design created from a simple spoon
05:43A paintbrush, a battery, and some soda
05:48It's amazing what you can create with a little ingenuity
05:51I hope you enjoyed this project
