This video shows a steel belt buckle being salt water/electro etched to good depth of relief.
A similar salt electrolytic process is often used by bespoke knife makers to etch a design onto the blade,but they use a cotton pad electrode similar to the vid Rob posted.....OZ.

Apologies, Rob for getting things diverted :offtopic: -- I momentarily got excited about the possibilities after seeing what you'd done. :palm: I really admire your historical knowledge and approach to making things, including traditional etching and plating. That fantastic forge is really the focus here!! :beer:
RobWilson:
Hey no need to apologise Steve ,its all good :ddb:
I really don't mined one bit , threads are like conversations that drift and at the end of the day a few new things have been learned and ideas kicked about :med:
