I've been following this site for awhile now, however  I finally decided to join today :D  so this is my first real post.
This is an xda 1U cap that I want to share, I am still designing the final touches, so any input would be great  :thumb:

That is stunning! What alloy is it?

I have a few zinc/pewter? IBM caps from several years ago that have acquired a "patina" that is pretty well impossible to remove.
“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933

Thank you I appreciate that you think it looks good.
I haven't made this keycap yet, I am still deciding on what materials and finishes to try out.
Hopefully I will have something made by next month.
