66% Copper Caps
« on: Mon, 29 May 2017, 02:58:39 »
We have been working on our Cu66 Cherry Mx Caps for a while now. They are cold cast using real copper powder and have a really nice weight to them. We'd love to get some feedback and see what other metals people would be interested in

The cap looks great, I'd like to see it in Cherry profile.

Do you have any pictures of the bottom?
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

Will you be making artisans as well or just blank copper caps?

Maybe zinc? Or something that has the same effect? I heard the zinc ones don't actually hold up very well.

Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Just did a batch of aluminium ones that came out really well. They should hold up better then Zinc I think

I don't know why I forgot to ask this earlier.

Are the caps clear coated after they're finished? If they aren't clear coated the metal will begin to patina which I think is a bonus but I'm not sure everyone would agree with me.
