Title: [WTTF] Octopink, Tickle Me Pink, P1 Purple, Hardcore White, or Mint Gum MX Skull
Post by: nubbinator on Wed, 19 June 2013, 13:59:12: I've been looking for these CC's for a while, but no one seems willing to part with them for anything reasonable. I'm willing to pay a max of $30 shipped for one of them or I have some things I can trade for them. I don't believe in flipping CCs or caps sets for massive profits and have never done so myself, so I won't pay more than that. I've sold cap sets and other things in here and always I've sold at cost (aside from the stuff I make) because I want others to get the pleasure out of them that I have or had.

For Hardcore White and Mint Gum, I can trade you cap pullers, sleeved cables, or a dyed curly maple GH60/Poker/Pure/60% wrist wrest once I finish it. A teaser of what the wrest will look like:

For an Octopink, Tickle Me Pink, or P1 Purple skull, I can trade an MX Octopink Toast 4:20 Clack. I got this CC in as part of a Secret Santa gift. I am in love with the color and the quality of the cap, but the places I use my keyboard and people I use it around kind of frown upon the leaf. As such, I'm looking for something that's equally awesome, but less controversial. I am open to some other skull trades, but it would have to be a pretty awesome color that would also go with Montana Gold Cherry Blossom (http://www.utrechtart.com/Montana-Gold-Spray-Paint--Matte-Acrylic-Color--Cherry-Blossom-MP27764-i1001124.utrecht) and a BoW cap set.

Nope, it's one of my Zinc caps I've been experimenting with making. Unfortunately they've been put on hold since I can only find zinc in massive, expensive ingots and when I do find smaller ingots, well, they're not close enough to be picked up and cost $30-40 in shipping. The caps also happen to be ridiculously hard to photograph.

I did find a place nearby that has a centrifugal caster that I might be able to use, so I haven't given up on my experiments yet.

Nailed it. One of two out there. Jocelyn has the first horrible prototype, that's prototype #2.

I read through your making keycaps threads a while back!! Thought it looked familiar.

It looks familiar, but it's not the one in the thread, that one is with Jocelyn. It's definitely something I'll be pursuing more of once I get a little more funds from my sales.

Post by: nubbinator on Fri, 21 June 2013, 20:17:09: Thanks Jocelyn. Once I get some more zinc, hopefully I'll be able to make a more viable cap.

Still looking for that Octopink Skull (or other equally awesome color).

I do really like Mint Gum, but I was hoping to get another one of the other less common colors for the Octopink. If you'd be willing to trade it for custom cables, a custom wooden wrist wrest, a prototype zinc cap (it's in the picture in the OP), and/or wooden key cap pullers (check my sig for the stuff I've been working on), I'd love it. If not, I totally understand.

The cap you see in the OP is my one and only CC. I got my e-mail sent in time to get one of the last Red, Yellow, Blue seconds sets, but missed a letter in the e-mail and missed out (c'est la vie). As mentioned, I'm willing to do some other trades for one, like a nice wood wrist wrest, key cap pullers, my prototype zinc cap, and/or custom cables, but I don't have any other CCs to trade and don't have the money for one at the huge markups flippers ask for them.

Post by: nubbinator on Wed, 24 July 2013, 20:15:04: Updated pics of the wrist wrest:

(http://i.imgur.com/6MBvd9m.jpg)

It's not finished yet, but the wood was still wet with dye when the photo was taken, so it should look pretty similar to how it will look finished. It's Curly Maple dyed with black wood dye, sanded down, and dyed again with red wood dye. This is a technique commonly used with guitars. I'll be finishing it in Deft Danish Oil. California doesn't allow the sale or use of lacquer, so if you want a different finish, I am limited to shellac and polyurethane. Multiple coats of Deft should be a nice, good finish though.

Also available for trade for Clacks or partial trade for Clacks are my sand cast zinc prototype cap.

Thanks. It's there as a sweetening the deal thing, but if no one trades me, I may end up selling it.

It's actually colors ;D It's a wood dying technique that creates some nice high contrast in the figuring bye using two different wood dyes and some sanding. Usually you see it done on guitars. It does make for some really sexy wood.
