My Journey: When I first got into glass etching, I was most interested in the sandblasting process and was about to spend over $10,000 on equipment advertised by manufacturers. Just before I was about to make the irrationally quick decision, I decided to research other lower cost solutions and ended up piecing together a great setup for at least 90% less.

It is my aim that a small investment in this information will actually save you thousands.

We featured Gilly Saucedo a couple weeks ago here. He was nice enough to share some of his other work in this post of engraved designs done on concrete and stepping stones, and these are really cool.
