## Plan
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use paper and cover material similar to US passport to make Hackerspace
|
|
|
|
Passports
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. order fancy paper and vinyl cover material (done)
|
|
|
|
- ordered 100% cotton paper and [vinyl report
|
|
|
|
covers](http://www.factory-express.com/Supplies/BindingSupplies/BindingCovers/bindingcovers.html)
|
|
|
|
2. make wood/plastic block stamps to print the generic info and layouts
|
|
|
|
- planning to use the CNC to route the SVGs to wood blocks or PCB
|
|
|
|
blanks
|
|
|
|
3. make/order inks for printing
|
|
|
|
- depends on the printing blocks
|
|
|
|
4. print a test run on regular printer paper
|
|
|
|
- the cotton paper is cheaper than gold but more expensive than
|
|
|
|
plain printer paper by a lot
|
|
|
|
5. print a Hackerspace Passport
|
|
|
|
- pages only here
|
|
|
|
6. figure out that whole embossing thing
|
|
|
|
- pressing down the vinyl til it satays that way i get but the
|
|
|
|
application of the metal leaf in conjunction is outside my realm
|
|
|
|
of experience
|
|
|
|
7. emboss cover art
|
|
|
|
- insert magic here
|
|
|
|
8. bind a Hackerspace Passport
|
|
|
|
- my US passport is bound with some fancy string. i think i'll use
|
|
|
|
telcom twisted pairs for mine :P
|
|
|
|
9. enjoy perplexed look on TSA officers face when they search my bag at
|
|
|
|
<insert major transit point here>
|
|
|
|
- "WTF?" is such a satisfying expression to see :P
