I love this video because it shows all the labor involved in making a decent pin. I get so freaking tired of people bitching about enamel pin prices and trying to order just one . It’s a lot of steps!
As someone who's entire career has been in electroplating you think I would have thought of etching pieces of metal on my own a lot sooner lmao, thank you for the great video though I'm incredibly appreciative
Love the vid, actually would love to try and make some of these at home and couldn't find anything like this out there, it would be very much appreciated if you could please consider making a video or multiple, going into more depth about how it is done. Thanks for this amazing content
Thank you for teaching me all the steps involved. I will never be upset at the cost of pins again now that i understand more. Also embarrassingly i should remember to apply this thought reflection to the rest of my life😅
Thank for this video. While not a tutorial, it gives enough technique information that anyone should be able to develop the system and skills. However, I read through the comments and see that many have requested a tutorial type video, and I'm excited that you are considering it. Looking forward to future videos...and now, I will make some notes on how to use your video to make metal pins. I have most of the equipment, but simply need some materials. Thank you!
Do you think you could make a video explaining the process behind it? This is super cool, and it'd be awesome if you made a video describing what you're doing.
Thanks for sharing, dude. This really gives a great idea of the hard work behind it. I was checking some to buy and thought they were bit expensive, but after seeing this video, now I think they're hell'a cheap.
Hey I was wondering if you could make a video where you show everything that you need to make those pins, and by that y mean the tools and materials that you are using, because I want to start doing this as a part time job. Thanks
There's a lot of artists out there that I know would love to be able to do this at home if they had the tools and the know-how. We just need someone to bring that to us in a simplified version.
This is fantastic would love to know what equipment and materials you use throughout. I know I would and I’m sure others would be more than happy to pay for seeing a detail process (as long as it’s not ridiculously priced) nothing else like it on the internet.
Bravo, that is an amazing process, I didn't know just how beautiful the enamel pin making process was! The Chinese have truly stolen the profitability of an art such as this one!
Honestly i always wondered how it was made, i think its beautiful you compiled a video like this to showcase your hard work! I probably wouldn't purchase all the tools just to make enamel pins but to experience making one would be awesome. keep it up!
@@DreamWorkshopCraft Hello, I've been trying to do the same thing except I'm not getting the desired results when I'm painting, could you possibly tell me what tools you use when painting? They seem very accurate and I need something like that for my application.
nowhere does it say or was it implied that this is a tutorial. they’re enamel pins… like you think people make them with scissors and water colors or something?😂
@@peen2804 the title of the video literally says "how I make enamel pins at home", and it appears as a result when you search for a tutorial, so bI0w me. And no, I don't think they're made with crayons, but I know they can be made at home with stuff that can actually be found at home or is easy/cheaper to get. Crafsman has a good video about it.
I knew it would be an intense process but god dang. I'll leave it to you folk XD Criminal that people pay so little for a pin that requires so much effort, time, materials, and equipment. Love that No Internet pin btw (i love them all but that one god a laugh out of me)
Old post but it's slightly different for mass produces badges. Metal will be stamped and by the time it's done a few million the final ones probably bear little relation to the first batch. Enamel will be drop fed using crude masks and any colour merging maybe ignored and sent out the door anyway. It's the precision of making sure the colours stay where they are supposed to be that I would struggle with.
Could you put the list of materials and specs in the description? Do you think that is it possible to use a laser engraver to remove the protective layer before the etch? This could save a ton of work.
@@DreamWorkshopCraft Yes, as detailed as possible would be awesome. I have the capability to do this at home, but need some education and your work is very good.
That's a lot of work... and money! I have to raise a lot of money to purchase all this equipment. Looks like its best to go to a manufacturer to start off.
OH! Your process and result are so stunning- If you ever open up a shop, I'd be interested in ordering some if you make small quantity- I'm tired of being forced into buying 50pins that will all be identical when I'd rather have 5 of a design and 5 of another, etc.
It doesn't require much. I started with just a saw, file, resin, UV lamp, and phone charger. This is enough for the same result. All the tools and supplies are only needed for speed and comfort when I do it a lot.
Well that was pretty quick.. I would like to know about process.. I mean whats that sticker at the begining.. ? and why it has to go through the electric current ?
The number of clickbait duplicated fake videos far outnumber the number of decent videos like this one? My only gripe was it's not longer. I would have sat here and watched this creators paint dry to see the final product. :)
that's why artists on the internet sell these pins kinds expensive since they hire a manufacturer for this and that's why those china sellers sell stolen designs enamel pins for so cheap because they have the machine for it so that they can mass produce
Here I thought I can start my own side hustle with this business BUT NOPE. It's not just the cost of the equipment you have to get, but also time and labor. It's no wonder China can do it at higher quantity and cheap, they have their slave labor.
@@veronicabanales5255 yup it's probably a good idea to establish other things first like stickers before going into selling pins since it takes way more time and it's expensive
@@koir9972 But I feel that making an enamel pin business is more profitable than stickers. I mean if I go to a manufacturer, no? Either way, I just had this idea so I haven't started anything yet. I definitely need to do more research.
@@veronicabanales5255 it really depends on what stickers you sell fanart stickers usually do the best and gradually branching out to your original stickers. But with a good marketing strategy and good responses i think making enamel pins are good as long as you know how to market
What is your process for acid etching? Vinyl sticker on painted base then laminated? Before put under uv light then put to soak into a bath of liquids with negative attached to piece from battery charger?,
I am fascinated by the work of doing it by hand step by step, I would like to know if you would be so kind, what do I need to do that, machines, utensils, paint, etc.
I was just curious, for the enamel are you just using regular enamel that you mix with a solution into a paste and then pack it in the empty creases? Or is there actually a liquid enamel? Also what temperature are you firing the enamel at in the oven?
Look up chemical etching supplies, you’ll find it for custom diy PCB making. PCB = printed circuit board. Only do it in a well ventilated area, or risk harm.
Me: **Looks at most of the equipment** Also Me: "Alright it's a bit of an investment but I think I c--" Also Also Me: "THAT'S A MICROSCOPE; I CAN'T AFFORD A MICROSCOPE!"
I love this video because it shows all the labor involved in making a decent pin. I get so freaking tired of people bitching about enamel pin prices and trying to order just one . It’s a lot of steps!
I have never wanted to do something more in my life this looks like so much fun.
Dude sammmme.. it’s 3am though, why do my bright ideas come so late at night lol
No cap only one problem I think none of us have the tools for this 😂😂
And tiring!😭 Esp for us, to make just 1, with 0 skills would take us ages.
@@deadlegend3427 I’d break into my schools dt lab lol.
Finally, a video about how pins are made and not just how to order them
i have none of this stuff at home
Clearly you don’t own an air fryer
@@AlienAubrey I air fry my badges to make them
😂
😮
As someone who's entire career has been in electroplating you think I would have thought of etching pieces of metal on my own a lot sooner lmao, thank you for the great video though I'm incredibly appreciative
Amazing work! I collect pins and its awsome to see them made at home by an individual instead of in a factory by people that dont appreciate the art.
Thank you
All I have to say, WOW! the amount of time and work.. my husband was trying to find a machine but after watching this! God bless you!!
Thanks! Actually small CNC for metal (small not equals cheap) can make pins like this. Not for production, 1-2 for yourself. If money not a problem :)
Love the vid, actually would love to try and make some of these at home and couldn't find anything like this out there, it would be very much appreciated if you could please consider making a video or multiple, going into more depth about how it is done. Thanks for this amazing content
yes please more detail or atleast a run down of materials and processes
I will never BS about the price when it comes to buying pin
Actually all sellers on etsy and other stores order from china factory for $0,5-1 and sell for $10. That is really sad.
Wew i had no idea making these pins was this much work. Kudos to you man!
*Nodding as if I actually remotely understood this process* "Ahh yes, so this is how enamel pins are made."
Thank you for teaching me all the steps involved. I will never be upset at the cost of pins again now that i understand more. Also embarrassingly i should remember to apply this thought reflection to the rest of my life😅

Thank you. I'm always glad to read such thoughts.
Finally! Someone whose process isnt:
Step 1. Buy it online
Step 1 - drawing
Step 2 - order from china
Millions of views
Sad :'(
holy moly, that's a lot of work
What matters is the results
This is one of the most beautiful processes I've ever seen, wow.. good job!!

@@DreamWorkshopCraft Do it. It's a lot of work but a video that will get a lot of views for years to come. That's why you're on youtube, right? ;)
Step 1: have every tool under the sun
I would also like more detail and a list of materials and processes and where you got your equipment.
Wow! This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. Nice work, love the details.
Oh thanks doc, I do my Best :)
I did not think it was going to take that much work. Great job. I'll be on the look out for more videos and tips.
Thx!

Having a workshop full of equipment isn't what people think when looking for a way to do homemade stuff.

Just like the old Eastern Block pins. So cool!
You are doing a incredible job by hand, we use automatic machines by etchcut, we almost produce 3000 pcs a day, best wishes for your work
Thank you 🙂
Hi Stefan, how do you make the depth to the pins with the etchcut? i have that doubt thanks
I knew it would be an intense process but god dang. I'll leave it to you folk XD

Realy want to repeat? Its wery dangerous process, high power and strong acids.
@@DreamWorkshopCraft yes pleaseee in detaill

Looking at the process I know the badges are going to be expensive .
WOW!!! this is so impressive!!!!!
real hand work for its lapel pin , good job . we are China lapel pin factory too .
Thank you )
All that work and one pin is $5. I hope you at least charge $20 a pin.
Кропотливая работа. Молодец.
That's a lot of work... and money! I have to raise a lot of money to purchase all this equipment. Looks like its best to go to a manufacturer to start off.
thats badass! anytips for someone who doesn't have as big if a shop tho? how what i start and what tools should i get for metal carving?
This is definitely not an at home methode dude 🤯
OH! Your process and result are so stunning- If you ever open up a shop, I'd be interested in ordering some if you make small quantity-
I'm tired of being forced into buying 50pins that will all be identical when I'd rather have 5 of a design and 5 of another, etc.
Thx! When I'll finish workshop everything is possible. Same thing, all this started when i wanted only one uniq pin, and nobody wanted to make it :)
That wolfenstein pin is dope af.
excellente vidéo j avais jamais vue la fabrication de Pins magnifique sa demande quand même un certain matériel . merci
Thanks!
That’s not home it’s a real professional workshop 😄
I do my best
@@DreamWorkshopCraft Can you give info about the tool you were using to paint the pins with?
Dopenesssss!! Your pins are awesome!
this looks like a ton of work 🥺 no wonder they're so crazy expensive
That's hardly 'at home'. You have a workshop. And these pins look top notch.
They look really good, but this requires lots of machines and supplies.
It doesn't require much. I started with just a saw, file, resin, UV lamp, and phone charger. This is enough for the same result. All the tools and supplies are only needed for speed and comfort when I do it a lot.

Any random power supplie and salt water.
@@DreamWorkshopCraft I see I thought you were etching them in acid but now that I think of it would be rather difficult to obtain-
@@lline7531 you can buy etching solutions on Amazon, not at all hard to find.
Awesome work! I would certainly buy an in-depth course.

Can u pls made a detailed video pls I am really interested
Enamel brand?

Just use clear epoxy resin with pigments for resin
well you have inspired me. but what is the etching process. ? what liquid in the cups, and what current and how long does it etch for? so cool
