*** IMPORTANT UPDATE ***
DO NOT USE GALVANIZED STEEL. IT WAS POINTED OUT BY A FEW COMMENTORS THAT GALVANIZED STEEL, WHEN ETCHED, CAN GIVE OFF VERY TOXIC FUMES. LUCKILY, MY SETUP IS PRETTY WELL VENTILATED, BUT PLEASE DO NOT USE GALVANIZED STEEL.

In this video, I detail out how to etch on clear acrylic using a blue diode laser.
