Etching your name on tools (www.youtube.com)

It helps to have your name permanently engraved on valuable tools, but engraving is difficult. Rob shows an easy and inexpensive way to label your steel tools permanently.

The Curiosity Show is an Australian educational children's television show produced from 1972 to 1990 and hosted by Rob Morrison and Deane Hutton. The show was produced by Banksia Productions in South Australia for the Nine Network. 500 episodes were produced across 19 seasons. Clips from episodes have been archived on YouTube for preservation.

Might be a kid's show but some absolute classics here, in an easy to ingest format.

Thanks, nice to know trick of the trade. Now to look for copper sulfate where to get

Copper sulfate is (scandalously) sold as an "organic pesticide" at least here in France because it has been traditional in the treatment of grapes for a very long time.

@keepthepace@slrpnk.net is right. Nurseries is where you can find it now. I just checked our local "Big Box" online and it's in the garden section.

Nice! I remember my dad having to do this because assholes would steal his tools at work.
