UPDATE 11/22/2002:
I'm currently working with CraigR and
my machinist to create master plugs for both 1st and 2nd/3rd season ear
posts. Once those are finished I will create a mold so I can
make them from resin. Stay tuned for pictures!
I had these custom
cast in aluminum, then heat treated for durability and machinability. Since
they are solid aluminum, they won't chip, crack, shatter, or warp. Due
to the casting process, they have a textured finish. I wasn't sure if I
liked the "textured look", so I cleaned them up with emory paper to make
them perfectly smooth. They could also be buffed to a mirrored finish!
I made a few
pairs and tried all
of the above to get the finish I was happy with.
