## Description
The process taken to make a Hackerspace Passport of similar quality to a
US passport.
## Status
Received parts (paper and cover material)
## 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
