That's really slick... I love the stencil pictures.  How exactly did you
etch all the way through?  I assume your raw material was a sheet of brass?

I've used it to make home-made brass paste stencils[1] for some bigger
boards with high-density parts.  Not really useful for hand-soldering,
better with toaster oven or hotplate.  The fab will ignore it unless
you ask for a stencil.
