1. Deside what you want to do and sand down your metal you want to use so it's clean
2. Cut out your design and tape it to your copper
3. Tape a long peice of metal onto the back of you peice 
4. tape any part you don't want to be etched
5. Pour a 1/5 ratio of warm water and salt into a container
6. Bend the long metal over the container where your peice is completely submerged
7. Hook a separate copper wire on the oposite side from your metal
8. Hook up your battery and clamps
9. Clamp both prices of metal hanging outside the water 
10. Turn on battery and leave until your work is as etched as you would like
