That is one of the finest builds I've seen so far on this forum. It's a self-designed 2-level board in one of the most impressive enclosures I've seen. Love the copper finish and the graphics is killer (especially those intertwining patterns).
I see you used CuSO4 as a copper source. What was your anode material? What voltage did you apply? I'm getting this itching in my fingers telling me to try this as well. Next up: chrome finish ;)

And +1: if you have some left or do a run on these, I'd take one please.

Yep, it's Zep's Root Kill from Home Depot. I tried a few things to get it working well enough, but in the end it was some guitar shielding tape from StewMac and a 6V lantern battery. I tried taping a ring of anode around the tub, but that didn't work the way I thought it would. Just one spot is better. The work piece must stay at least 3inches away and it needs to keep moving/turning and I had to pull it out every so often and scrub with Bar Keeper's friend polish - seriously for about 8-10 hours. I watched most of a season of The Sopranos doing this.

Last night I was proud of myself getting an alcohol Ink finish to stick to my enclosure.
Now I feel like a 2 year old playing with finger paints..lol

That is spectacular on all levels.

well, I guess we're not having a summer contest, since its already over.

 ;D

this is super cool.  I can't believe no one commented yet on the fact that the etch wraps over the sides.  That's no mean feat.

Stacked pcbs is something I was just thinking about, and here it is.

Inspiring on so many levels..!

This is sorcery!  Clearly not the work of a mortal.  I suggest we re-instate witch trials immediately  ;D
