Hey everyone - I just thought I'd make a fresh thread to introduce Finch caps and have a brief chat on what we're all about. I'll also use this thread for owners to post shots of their Finch Caps, and for owner/fan feedback and discussion. Everyone is welcome!
First, a little about us! I'm Att1cus, and together with my fiancee and photographer Smooganz we are running a small artisan shop called Finch Caps. We operate out of the suburbs of Philadelphia, where we hand-make and distribute all of our offerings. We have a (very good) doggo and two cats as well.
I was super lucky to have a master of a teacher, Binge (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1689) of Hunger Work studios. He and WidgiePidge (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=51556) were amazingly generous in having me over to their shop for a few sessions on the arts of casting artisan keycaps. I wouldn't be able to create the products I do without Binge's instruction, so a huge shout-out to him for the inspiration to start my own shop!
At the moment, Finch Caps is slowly producing quality artisan blanks that we affectionately call Finch Blanks. Each Finch Cap has the Finch Caps logo inscribed somewhere on the cap directly, most commonly inside the back of the key. We plan to evolve to make various blank mods and gaming sets down the road.
I'm also in the process of creating my first hand-sculpted caps, and will release some as soon as I ave stable enough designs.
I'd like to thank the following people for their encouragement and support of Finch Caps during its inception and now that we're officially rolling out our products to the community: Binge (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1689), Krytone (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=37884), Zorb (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=48371), Fendent (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=39464), Bro (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=22496), and BunnyLake (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24682)!
Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/finchcaps/) will be where I make most announcements and where I'll be posting my most up-to-date content (for now). Please follow to stay up to date on Finch Caps happenings!
