Ngweibing,

I'm taking some time off, but still checking emails. Did not see your emails, but will check spam filter, and get back to you. It's also possible I over looked it, if I did not red flag it when it came in. I try to flag them so I can come back when my schedule allows, and reply.

Please resend your request, and I will be looking for it.

shokk,

Thanks for the address. Your badge is packed and will go into the mail today.


Your badge and SPF's are my postage tests. I've been sending club badges with this method for a few weeks, but always local. I'm hoping long distance is the same.

Let me know if you don't get it.

BTW, No big rush on anybody who doesn't have a badge ready to trade. I'll be here for a while. Send it when you get it.

I got a chance this morning to make it to the post office . You should both have the badges in a couple of days.
Enjoy !

How do you do that? I would love to try my hand at making my own badges, but I don't have an idea of where to start. If you're a pro (in an earlier post you seemed to suggest you weren't) then forget I asked. But if you're a duffer like me, I'd love to hear the step-by-step process you went through to "put them on some magnets to see if the sizing looks ok."

Shokk , is the man for DIY badges and how to mount a grill badge ,
I saw his post in the other thread about show your grill badge collection. Where he said he put his designs on Staples magnets. His blog gave me the road map to make my own. i since have gotten thicker magnet material from the internet .

So I gave it a shot , it is not hard at all . If you have a inkjet printer , and then you can get a free graphics program like paint.net or gimp.
I have no skillz in using these programs just started using paint.net 2 weeks ago , reading tutorials and trial and error. Also got some help from some friends. Youtube has some tutorials on using paint.net.

I though most ink jets can handle thick sheets.
