It’s a lot harder than it looks!
Several months ago I’d bought these glasses at IKEA and since I found myself buying a diamond engraving tip when working on the glowpad project I thought I’d give engraving the glasses a whirl. It took a while to settle on a design, I was choosing between the classic three initials in script, in bold, or just an ‘M’ in script. Those, while classic, were a bit too ordinary so I thought why not do initials in binary? ;) Well… the binary for “iam” is a painfully long “011010010110000101101101″ but I figured what the hell? The glasses aren’t that expensive and if I’d screw up or they look bad I can just replace them.
Well, I’m sort of so-so on if I like them or not. They’re far from perfect and even though I sort of tried to make it look like I wasn’t being perfect about it, well, I fell a bit short. I did four of them and now my wrist aches from the vibration, but we’ll see… I need someone else’s opinion before I bother to do the other four ‘tall’ glasses.
