In March 2023, I ordered nickel strips and acetic acid to make nickel acetate and start #diy nickel plating in my shop.
Then I didn't actually do it.
Today I finally put those nickel strips into some of the acetic acid and turned on the power supply. Starting to get a little bit green at the bottom!
Also, I have been planning for years to set up for aluminum anodizing. Finally bought all the remaining items I need yesterday, and planning to start actual anodizing process later today.
Finally got to these projects because of an extended family member is visiting. He is learning to use the lathe and mill, and wants to anodize and nickel plate parts he is making. Apparently I'm motivated more by doing things for others than myself? #making
