It sounds like the purpose here was to test the design, stencil and air pressure on a glass bottle. This is a great idea that I have suggested with all types of scrap glass.
He provided the below details on these projects:
Shows etched mugs with various logos.
The first one shows a bottle with a stencil and the unmasked version which was blasted with:
- a pressure of 55 psi
- grit 70 because that what I have at the moment
The below is the transitional works — stuff I did while putting my patterns thru the paces.
I always liked these types of mugs which is another idea you can try!
An etched Oakland Athletics pilsner glasss and etched mug with logo.
Shows a sandblast engraved wooden picket fence. You could even paint this so it sticks out more!
The above are pieces of a wooden picket fence. Pattern tested good, with no big issues. You can see the masked version on the left after it was blasted and the unmasked version to the right of it.
I’ll send more later and if time allows me, I’ll add more explanation to my trial and error sessions. Carl

nice work ,,,what type of mask you using on the wood for stencil.
Wonderful work
Nice, my biggest problem with sandblasting is trying to find decals.
Very interesting work
what is the best materal to use to cut patterns
I like your work
James, I read your question on what is the best material to use to cut patterns. I am not the artist that did the above beautiful art work but maybe to help you out I can tell you a few things. I also etch glass and airbrush items for resale such as bikes, helmets, skate boards, saw-blades and a whole array of other items. What I find best is using a cameo silhouette electronic cutting machine and sign vinyl. There is a local sign shop down the road from me and about twice a week I buy his scrap vinyl. Usually I end up with between 2 or 3 yards which I pay $20.00 for and get about 12-15 rolls. Plenty for what I’m going to do. Simply cut the design on the cutter, remove the backing and stick to the glass. Works great and stands up well. Hope this helps, John
What grit do you use for the wood etching.
Thanks for the info on your patterns

John , read your response, re… cutting and resists, you don’t use pre mask that holds images together, whether weeding pre-install or after install?????
