So this here is SOOOOOOOOO totally roughed together. It's just a quick, slash-n'-dash, poke-in-the-eye, big sweeping gesture, ROUGH, dirty MOCKUP of where I was thinking of going with this. This particular material is off-fall from my Buckeye
mod. I just took a stab at fabricating something this small and delicate. (in doing it tho, I've got a pretty good idea of how I'd
really do it, to achieve
nice results).
But I wanted to get it out there to see if this direction would be one for me to pursue a little further. I already intend to make the whole switch assembly LOWER PROFILE (← geeeeeeeeze, dibs, stop yelling already, would'ja?); so the whole assembly would be closer to the deck there (as much as is practical, the max amount that's still practical). The "button" and silver nub would be designed/sized to play nicely together (visually). The "hinge"/corner of the BeCu part, where it hits the top of it's rise and goes horizontal to slip under the button would be slimmed in (so you wouldn't see a corner there). The materials (with this method I'm devising) could be matching (using the same material for button as
mod body), or it could be Ivory (that'd be pretty nice), or maybe even Ebony.
It feels very nice.
Very nice.
It also looks cool (in person and in my mind, where it is made nicely and everything is "of a piece") .. . . it floats there in an inviting way (i.e. Jetsons meets "push-me")
), but it punches up to 1/2" metal (they sell machines that punch shapes up to 2" thick metal, so you can punch your own wrenches and hammer heads
