Folks,
Made some switch placards by etching some brass stock and thought I'd post it here Yes, I'm showing off, damn it! Even the botched paint job.
Basically, I used PulsarFX Fab-In-A-Box system to set up the mask, and then etched in Ferric Chloride at 100F for ~90 minutes. Then, paint, sand down the high areas to reveal the metal, and clear coat.
Here's a (much longer) write up the summary of which is above: http://79ft.net/entries/2019-11-23-switch-plates/
