Before Apollo and others made the cost of custom steel gobos affordable, many kits and instructions were available involving sheet stock, resist media, and acid-etching. Most provided only marginal results and the cost of materials rivaled purchasing stock steel patterns.

Yeah, the results were pretty marginal. Cost of materials was pretty low though. I used muriatic acid and water to etch, Krylon crystal clear spray paint as the resist and old printers plates as the metal stock. I managed one good
gobo, once. The rest pretty much blew.

cookie sheets from the grocery and an exacto are another story. As long as you don't want to make "Summer Leaves" or a venitian blind gobo you can do pretty good. Enjoy!
