Wooden Caps
« on: Wed, 05 February 2014, 23:39:05 »
I was wondering how one would go about making the mounts. Could you use a small dremmel bit, or would you just have to use a gouge?

I wonder if those lazer cutters could do this.

You guys….it's been done. Nothing new. Totally badasss. Tried to start a group buy in about 2010 but I was not in a good place to do it and GH didn't have the members or the interest. Caps are about $10 which seemed like a lot "back in the day" but is nothing now with $100 gold caps.

Still can happen. Cool guys in Taiwan. I've been there.

Yeah, I'd still like to be able to make my own, considering you can buy pen blanks for like $4 per whcih will make 5-6 caps, with just about endless variety.

Ahhh….different animal. I get it, and I'm with ya.

I want:
Solid color keycaps with a clear double-shot legend that is Kilngon. (i.e.: black keycaps with orange lit up Kilngon symbols on my Split Kinesis)

NO. I do not speak, read, write, or eat Kilngon, although I'd definitely "get busy" with a Klingon babe if there was no noxious smell associated with the process.
