They look good enough to eat! :)
I was just thinkin' the same thing. ;)
Nice stuff Scott!
Real nice! What flavor did you say
Those look really nice. The photographer was a great idea too.
Dave
Thanks all:)
Photographer was Dad's idea, I thought I took decent pics, but I was taking them from a Maker's standpoint. SHE was taking them from a grandmother poking around the internet for something special viewpoint and what she would like to see:)
Her way is BETTER!!
She's kind of getting into it I think:)
Here was just a thought she had for a Facebook Page Banner. She thinks we should just get our name out there, and get a little backstory of Dad's idea of starting a few small independent companies in Maine and then cut them loose---Instead of Retiring retiring like most 85 year olds do:)
Going Hard Maple,Black Walnut,Padauk, and Bloodwood for starter production, then maybe Purpleheart,Yellowheart, and Flame Touched Maple in the 9 fluted designs.

I took a nap, and while I was sleeping the photographer (Kelly) made Kirk(Alosada) a Facebook Page:) I THINK she's getting into it:)
Only bad thing is, I shut down my account once I checked how much time I spent on it and now have to open another:(
OH, This will be totally Kirk's company and baby. So PLEASE don't use my Name or Kennebunkport in any Comments. I Just Proto stuff. When Kirk has been in the black for 6 months, Dad will cut him loose and he'll continue on while Dad and I make a new company. THANKS,Scott

A BIG THANK YOU to George Bradley at AllStarAdhesive for taking time out of his day to take a button .DXF and change it into a proto Cover Gasket Vacuum Jig!!! Thanks George:)
OH,
AllStar Adhesives cover sheet gasket page if anybody else is intrigued to hold SMALL stuff down.

Looks very nice.
Scott,
The vaccum jig looks interesting. Are you going to use vac hold down for the buttons going forward?
Dave
Dave,
IF we can get it held down, then yes we'll probably make a job specific jig for each of the different diameter/shapes.
Right at the limit of what people are doing in wood John and George from AllStar said. The fact that the Buttonholes need a gasket for drilling all the way through decreases the surface area. Sure would be nice to get away from tape and to have totally finished product come off(except for finishing).
George just sent me a new .dxf and may start drawing tomorrow(6 more files still to convert to production).
If it works(have to order that bit and a piece of HDPE for proto), then I'll post results in a different thread for those Bored with Buttons:)
