Although I have been sidetracked with work, family, etc., the emblems are still in play.
Right now I am looking at heat treating to get the patina to the 316/Br prints instead of chemical treatment (like cold blueing for guns) that I used on the first few. I hope to have that dialed in a few weeks.
After that I will come up with a way for folks to just download the files they want and have them printed by a shop (I am using ExOne) with the finish they want and shipped to their house - it keeps me out of the loop. Right now the files I have already made are:
SeaCraft emblem (Miami, FLA. below)
27 emblem
23 emblem
21 emblem
20 emblem
If there is interest, I can also make 18, 19, and 25 emblems.
Likewise, if someone wants to replace the 'Miami, FLA.' text with something else (year?), it should be easy for me to do a few custom ones.
As far as pricing goes, it has been costing me about 250 (delivered) for a set of 2 SeaCraft emblems and 2 length emblems (one set for each side) - I guess just the SeaCraft emblems would probably be about 190/pair delivered. The heat treat patina will cost a few bucks more. I am planning on polishing the letter faces myself after mine get heat treated - but it looks like ExOne could do that too for more $.
