I use a Dremel Rotary tool to do the etching. I never used a power tool before and the first time I used it I had a lot of fun lol mooore power. I use recycled glass but I am trying to find more glass. If you have glass that I can use please let me know.
I finally found my niche and I am very happy. I am looking forward to doing this for years to come.
