It sure will do copper, it's what you use for PCBs and they're copper traces. Brass it should do as well but being a mixture of metals I'm not sure how each would react in terms of time needed to cut. Worth a try though - watch for the fumes.

It's used for PCB manufacture as standard, so copper's definitely okay. I've also used it with Aluminium Bronze and with Brass with good results.

Managed to find a photo - Google Photo search is very clever...
Back in 2016, a friend of my OH's (called Hayley) who lived in Finland was lined up to run a half marathon in her home country (South Africa) and had been doing a lot of training. For various reasons, Hayley couldn't travel and was going to miss the half marathon but she decided to run the race in Finland on her own at the same time as the half-marathon was going on in South Africa.
I made her a medal out of some aluminium bronze so she could be given something when she finished the race. This was my first ever attempt at etching, so while it's not perfect, I was quite pleased with the result.

and the photo here shows a present I made for my father with a brass etched piece in the corner (with shellac filling in the etched bit):

Just etched my name onto a .357 Magnum casing. They say that somewhere in the world there is a bullet with your name on it...

Rather you than me. I swapped an RX-8 engine a year or two back, and it was the singularly more hateful car I've ever had the displeasure to work on. I DESPISE the renesis engine with an absolute passion. Most awkward, fiddly, complicated and unreliable piece of crappy design... and after all the hard work, just a sheer disappointment to drive.
Unlike the earlier 13B-REW engine, which once you got rid of the stupid vacuum lines, was relatively simple and a whole load of fun and power to be had.
I cannot stress how much I hate the renesis engine, it's got me triggered and I'm sitting here with a frown of displeasure.

Heavy drizzle today so after being to the Surgery I couldn't be bothered changing clothes to get out into the cave. Instead I made these [sultana scones], something I've been planning for a while.
I passed a couple straight from the oven to Mrs Neighbour for her verdict [she bakes a lot so would know]. 5 mins later a phone call "They're delicious, we've just scoffed them! So, result! I know what I did wrong for the appearance, but I've sampled one myself and she was right - who'd have known.....
And for @The_Yellow_Ardvark, just to prove I have more than my Nescafe mug.....

Well done you
I've tried making scones on a number of occasions and they have all ended up like rock cakes

i find using plain flour instead of portland is a big help...
actually, on a more serious note:
my hands are apparently too warm [1] for baking.
you have to keep the butter/lard as cold as possible otherwise it just goes horribly wrong.
i've had much more success since i started using powertools [2] to mix dough, rather than my hands.
1. warm hands. cold heart.
2. a kenwood chef. not a belle minimix,
although i have been known to use a milwaukee cordless to whisk omelettes.

I thought it was warm hands, warm heart, cold hands cold ....
(Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush 1967)
dunno.
round here (s. leeds), its always "cold hands, warm heart"
maybe the song misquoted the saying?

I've only ever heard it as "cold hands, warm heart".

Those scones look tasty! Nothing better than one with 1/2" thick smear of clotted cream and a big spoon of jam on!
It's been glorious here, a perfect opportunity to put a new table top on our patio table that got smashed during the storm a bit back.
Used an old sleeper that's been kicking around in the garden all the time we've been here. Sliced it up on the table saw and inlayed it into the original frame.
Sanded and sealed. To my surprise the missus actually approved of it... and to top it off ive got a carrier bag of saw dust ready to be deployed next time I chuck a load of oil over the garage floor!
