This video is all about printing a stencil and electro-etching the design onto steel (usually for the purpose of knife making, but can be used for any metal etching purpose really!).
I use the Brother P-700 P-Touch label printer to print stencils in this video. I found this label printer that has a feature for heat printing onto stencil paper and I'm finding it works really well.
This is where I bought the P-Touch in Australia. Super fast shipping and better price than anywhere else that I found:

And this is the special stencil tape you need:

There is nothing fancy needed with these stencils and after looking high and low for months, I found this is the best option for me as a new knife-maker.
I originally heard about the P-700 when I was watching the Chop Knives channel. Craig had a really fast paced video showing the printer in action and I thought I'd look into it!
