Shave Club hey guys i’m nate welcome back to the workshop today we’re going
back to the workshop today we’re going
back to the workshop today we’re going to be trying an experiment that I’ve
to be trying an experiment that I’ve
to be trying an experiment that I’ve wanted to do for quite a while we’re
wanted to do for quite a while we’re
wanted to do for quite a while we’re going to use electricity to see if we
going to use electricity to see if we
going to use electricity to see if we can engrave or etched steel although I
can engrave or etched steel although I
can engrave or etched steel although I think this idea has been done by a lot
think this idea has been done by a lot
think this idea has been done by a lot of people I got the idea from watching a
of people I got the idea from watching a
of people I got the idea from watching a channel called the art of weapons check

the link below the basic idea is that
the link below the basic idea is that you can use a low voltage direct current
you can use a low voltage direct current
you can use a low voltage direct current and a little bit of salt water or
and a little bit of salt water or
and a little bit of salt water or vinegar to engrave or etched into steel
vinegar to engrave or etched into steel
vinegar to engrave or etched into steel we have a few different varieties of
we have a few different varieties of
we have a few different varieties of this setup that we’re gonna try and see
this setup that we’re gonna try and see
this setup that we’re gonna try and see which one works the best I have a couple
which one works the best I have a couple
which one works the best I have a couple different types of Steel that I want to
different types of Steel that I want to
different types of Steel that I want to try a flat carbon steel bar and this
try a flat carbon steel bar and this
try a flat carbon steel bar and this stainless steel cup in order to make the
stainless steel cup in order to make the
stainless steel cup in order to make the designs a little more detailed than just
designs a little more detailed than just
designs a little more detailed than just drawing with a q-tip you can use masks
drawing with a q-tip you can use masks
drawing with a q-tip you can use masks to carefully outline where you want the
to carefully outline where you want the
to carefully outline where you want the etching to go there are a few different
etching to go there are a few different
etching to go there are a few different types of masks I’m going to try
types of masks I’m going to try
types of masks I’m going to try electrical tape nail polish and a
electrical tape nail polish and a
electrical tape nail polish and a sticker and then finally there are two
sticker and then finally there are two
sticker and then finally there are two different ways I’m going to try applying
different ways I’m going to try applying
different ways I’m going to try applying the electricity the first is just using
the electricity the first is just using
the electricity the first is just using some 9-volt batteries and connecting
some 9-volt batteries and connecting
some 9-volt batteries and connecting directly to those the second source of
directly to those the second source of
directly to those the second source of electricity is this AC to DC adapter
electricity is this AC to DC adapter
electricity is this AC to DC adapter which I’m going to use to let me have a
which I’m going to use to let me have a
which I’m going to use to let me have a constant stream of electricity straight
constant stream of electricity straight
constant stream of electricity straight from the outlet I’ve also seen people
from the outlet I’ve also seen people
from the outlet I’ve also seen people attempting this using a car battery
attempting this using a car battery
attempting this using a car battery charger which should do mostly the same
charger which should do mostly the same
charger which should do mostly the same thing as this AC to DC adapter which is
thing as this AC to DC adapter which is
thing as this AC to DC adapter which is to put out a constant stream of 12 volt
to put out a constant stream of 12 volt
to put out a constant stream of 12 volt electricity at approximately 1 amp let’s
electricity at approximately 1 amp let’s
electricity at approximately 1 amp let’s start out by testing our high carbon
start out by testing our high carbon
start out by testing our high carbon steel bar to be sure we have a nice
steel bar to be sure we have a nice
steel bar to be sure we have a nice clean and non oxidized surface to work
clean and non oxidized surface to work
clean and non oxidized surface to work with let’s get some high grit sandpaper
with let’s get some high grit sandpaper
with let’s get some high grit sandpaper and just go over this whole bar that
and just go over this whole bar that
and just go over this whole bar that will remove any oxidation or grease that
will remove any oxidation or grease that
will remove any oxidation or grease that may be on the surface of the seal
let’s use some electrical tape to mask
let’s use some electrical tape to mask off areas that we don’t want to engrave
off areas that we don’t want to engrave
off areas that we don’t want to engrave this wood here closely to the steel so
this wood here closely to the steel so
this wood here closely to the steel so we shouldn’t have to worry about any of
we shouldn’t have to worry about any of
we shouldn’t have to worry about any of the water seeping underneath the tape
the water seeping underneath the tape
the water seeping underneath the tape there’s a line right here that kind of
there’s a line right here that kind of
there’s a line right here that kind of looks like it’s exposed steel but it’s
looks like it’s exposed steel but it’s
looks like it’s exposed steel but it’s actually just a very edge of the
actually just a very edge of the
actually just a very edge of the electrical tape and it has a little bit
electrical tape and it has a little bit
electrical tape and it has a little bit of dust on it so it’s white but in truth
of dust on it so it’s white but in truth
of dust on it so it’s white but in truth the steel is not exposed right there at
the steel is not exposed right there at
the steel is not exposed right there at all now let’s take an exacto knife and
all now let’s take an exacto knife and
all now let’s take an exacto knife and carefully cut out the pattern that we
carefully cut out the pattern that we
carefully cut out the pattern that we want to engrave on to the steel I think
want to engrave on to the steel I think
want to engrave on to the steel I think I’ve successfully cut out the shape that
I’ve successfully cut out the shape that
I’ve successfully cut out the shape that I want now I’ll peel off the electrical
I want now I’ll peel off the electrical
I want now I’ll peel off the electrical tape on the inside where I want it and
tape on the inside where I want it and
tape on the inside where I want it and great supposed to sort of be a little

great supposed to sort of be a little flame not sure how much it really looks
flame not sure how much it really looks
flame not sure how much it really looks like one but it’ll still work really
like one but it’ll still work really
like one but it’ll still work really well for testing there we go got the two
well for testing there we go got the two
well for testing there we go got the two cut out I’m just gonna press down to
cut out I’m just gonna press down to
cut out I’m just gonna press down to make sure the tape is really nicely
make sure the tape is really nicely
make sure the tape is really nicely attached especially there’s little bits
attached especially there’s little bits
attached especially there’s little bits that point down into the shape
that point down into the shape
that point down into the shape I don’t want those accidentally peeling
I don’t want those accidentally peeling
I don’t want those accidentally peeling off now let’s take out one of our

maybe I just need to be more careful
maybe I just need to be more careful about moving the cotton swab quickly so
about moving the cotton swab quickly so
about moving the cotton swab quickly so it doesn’t stay in one place too long
it doesn’t stay in one place too long
it doesn’t stay in one place too long the battery differently works now I want

power not AC power that’s what we want
power not AC power that’s what we want this end that’s on the power cord is not
this end that’s on the power cord is not
this end that’s on the power cord is not what we want so let’s just snip it off
what we want so let’s just snip it off
what we want so let’s just snip it off now let’s separate the do cords and
now let’s separate the do cords and
now let’s separate the do cords and strip back a little bit of the plastic
strip back a little bit of the plastic

then we’ll just switch them and see if
then we’ll just switch them and see if that helps it it’s gonna fold up a
that helps it it’s gonna fold up a
that helps it it’s gonna fold up a little bit to make it a bit easier for

the Gator clip to grab on to it now
the Gator clip to grab on to it now let’s plug in our adapter try a
let’s plug in our adapter try a
let’s plug in our adapter try a different shape this time I’m just gonna
different shape this time I’m just gonna
different shape this time I’m just gonna make a longer slightly squiggly line all
make a longer slightly squiggly line all
make a longer slightly squiggly line all right
right
right connect our what I hope is our positive
connect our what I hope is our positive
connect our what I hope is our positive terminal to the metal our salt water

terminal to the metal our salt water covered cotton swab connected to the
covered cotton swab connected to the
covered cotton swab connected to the negative terminal see how this works oh
negative terminal see how this works oh
negative terminal see how this works oh we got bubbling pretty much right away
we got bubbling pretty much right away
we got bubbling pretty much right away which I think confirms that this is in
which I think confirms that this is in
which I think confirms that this is in fact the negative terminal I would say
fact the negative terminal I would say
fact the negative terminal I would say this is a little bit more bubbling
this is a little bit more bubbling
this is a little bit more bubbling action than one 9-volt battery but less
action than one 9-volt battery but less
action than one 9-volt battery but less than two which makes sense since this is
than two which makes sense since this is
than two which makes sense since this is 12 volts in each of the batteries is 9
12 volts in each of the batteries is 9
12 volts in each of the batteries is 9 volts I saw a fair amount of bubbling
volts I saw a fair amount of bubbling
volts I saw a fair amount of bubbling when I first started applying it like
when I first started applying it like
when I first started applying it like this but it hasn’t been changing the
this but it hasn’t been changing the
this but it hasn’t been changing the color at all and there’s been no buildup
color at all and there’s been no buildup
color at all and there’s been no buildup on the tip of the cotton swab it’s been
on the tip of the cotton swab it’s been
on the tip of the cotton swab it’s been building up where the alligator clip was
building up where the alligator clip was
building up where the alligator clip was holding it but not on the tip of the
holding it but not on the tip of the
holding it but not on the tip of the swab so I’m wondering if I have my
swab so I’m wondering if I have my
swab so I’m wondering if I have my positive and negative terminals switched
positive and negative terminals switched
positive and negative terminals switched so I’m just going to attach the black
so I’m just going to attach the black
so I’m just going to attach the black one to the bar and put the cotton swab
one to the bar and put the cotton swab
one to the bar and put the cotton swab in the red clips and then see if it
in the red clips and then see if it
in the red clips and then see if it makes a difference it’s not bubbling as
makes a difference it’s not bubbling as
makes a difference it’s not bubbling as much as it was before but it’s
much as it was before but it’s
much as it was before but it’s definitely discolor anymore which i
definitely discolor anymore which i
definitely discolor anymore which i think is the more important look because
think is the more important look because
think is the more important look because it means it’s actually doing something
it means it’s actually doing something
it means it’s actually doing something to the metal I was doing a lot more than
to the metal I was doing a lot more than
to the metal I was doing a lot more than it was before so I clearly had my
it was before so I clearly had my
it was before so I clearly had my positive and negative terminals switched
positive and negative terminals switched
positive and negative terminals switched on that wire you can see that this time
on that wire you can see that this time
on that wire you can see that this time all of the build-up on the cotton swab
all of the build-up on the cotton swab
all of the build-up on the cotton swab is where it’s touching the steel and not
is where it’s touching the steel and not
is where it’s touching the steel and not where the alligator clip is gripping it
beautiful
beautiful just like how we were getting before
just like how we were getting before
just like how we were getting before there’s definitely an edge on the steel
there’s definitely an edge on the steel
there’s definitely an edge on the steel a lip that can kind of catch the blade

and using the vinegar to see if I can darken the metal after I’ve edged it
Oh beautiful
Oh beautiful I’m just use a little bit of alcohol on
