By the way, the trick for glass engraving is to use black marker or other black ink on the glass. It gives a different effect if you engrave THROUGH the glass rather than ON the glass. On the glass gives you sharper lines but through the glass produces a pleasant rainbow effect.I'm using glass from dollar-store picture frames, I figure maybe sidelighting might look good. It's cheap, thin glass and I do have to say I would not use this method for commercial engraving.. but it IS fun...
Long time indeed!
If you light the edge of the glass, will the etched parts light up like plastic shard lights do?
