Make the others jealous

I finally have such a photo etch tool on order. I am here cheating a little because the thing is still in transit. :) I thought I would never get around to buying one, as they are rather expensive. There are ofc different brands, and presumably they are very similar, but maybe still a little different if one looks into things.

 

So, what I learned recently is that, this kind of tool can also be used to flatten a larger piece of photo etch, which I find interesting. Presumably it will be required to anneal the metal, else I suspect the photo etch will remain springy even when put under pressure for some time. Though, sometimes the photo etch has bolt heads as a second "layer" on photo etch, then the flattening trick probably won't work, or will deform the detailing if the photo etch has raised details, not being entirely flat.
