Hmm I want a Hako now.. might have to be my next investment.
So I've had quite a metal few days..
Braided metal cables from Donut Cables, went with Stainless, Brass and Copper, the latter 2 to match...
Custom Alps plates! Brass and Copper. The Brass is Focus / SGI layout [1.5, 1, 1.5, 7, 1.5, 1, 1.5], the Copper is [1, 1.5, 7, 1.5, 1] with blocked corners, split right shift and split backspace. If anyone's interested they were done by LaserMaster (UK) - after some back and forth conversation and quotes, they were turned around in 4 days after I submitted final drawings and payment. With VAT and shipping they were about £50 each. The cuts and edges are super neat, I just need to get them polished and plated now so they stay shiny
And finally...
Got this lovely custom made pen, brass and wood with a black rollerball. Nice and weighty with a very nice action. Made by a guy on Reddit that also makes custom wrist rests etc. Link to his thread:
