Title: Hey!
Post by: fliptrik on Fri, 20 February 2015, 00:29:36
I'm decently new but I decided I might as well start racking up my posts so I can start participating in classifieds and group buys. I just picked up a Poker II so my goal right now is to snag some artisan caps. Those suckers intrigue me so much.

I'm actually pretty interested in learning to make my own caps. I've been spending an ungodly amount of time in the cap creation threads learning about the process others have gone through. Once I get some free time, I'm making my first mold and going in head first.

The 25 posts and 2 months membership only applies for creating new threads in the classifieds.

So, that means you can join GBS and buy from the other members that are selling in the classifieds.

Be sure to check out the Currently Running Group Buys and Vendor Group Buys thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57761.0) for all your WalletHacking needs. :p

Oh. Awesome! I was a little bummed when I read I could participate until then but I'm glad it just means I can't start my own until later. Thanks for clearing that up!

Welcome to Geekhack!

I understand the thing with making keycaps is to start, and to expect a few fairly dramatic failures before you get something half decent.  Pretty much all of the artisans around here went through the same process when they were starting, and look where most of them are now!

Just a suggestion - keep a few of the better failures as a record of your keycap making journey.  They could become collectibles one day!
