my guess is that it was done in taiwan.

notes from the youtube clip:

- the laser goes through several passes for more even consistent etching
- the technician has done eight or nine sets already
- the edges shouldn't rust (at least that's what the technician says) since it goes through multiple passes to even out the edges
- the laser doesn't heat up the surface, so it remains cool to the touch immediately after the job is complete.

Definitely agree with you. I think it's Taiwan too. Mike, you should take your calipers with you on your trip and fly over there. Infact, you can take mine too!
