I seen a Facebook post today discussing the little engraved tokens with your logo and name that Steve Good came up with where they are just 1" disc that you can use a forestner bit to put your logo on the back or bottom of a base etc.. People asked about where to get them now... I'm learning the designing portion of things a bit so I'm probably limited on the creation side of these but if you have a good logo photo etc. I can probably help you get these since I'm doing laser work. I see Steve charged $12 for a card of 12 of these.. I'm not sure if he charged shipping but I would have to at that price point you're barely covering the laser time and material. Pretty sure I could meet that same price for those here on the village if there is interest and if you can provide me a design or a real good photo of one that I could work with.. Just thought I'd put that offer out here if there is someone in need of them. Feel free to send me a PM if you need some and maybe I could help with out breaking your wallet too badly, LOL.

Also does anyone know what material Steve used? I'm just assuming he used BBplywood but I'd be able to make from Walnut, Cherry, Red Oak, Maple and Mahogany.. also do white board ( dry erase board material ) are the 1/8" materials I keep on hand for laser engraving. That said I'd have to do them in sets from these materials.. in other words I'm not interested in doing 1-2-3-4 or 5  of several different materials so it'd be a full card of whatever material you wanted. Might consider a sample run of each material as a one time per person to see what they'd get.. I also feel like most scroll sawers know the colors of these types of wood and what colors / species they use most. Prices would very on some of the mentioned material since the material ( especially Walnut ) is obviously priced much higher than just the basic BBplywood..

Yeah I would need to use some scraps to use a 1” forester bit and do some testing to get a decent fit. I will do that if I get any interest in them, if no interest there is no sense in doing it as I laser engrave my logo directly on my projects.

Hey Kevin,, I'd be interested in having some made.  I never pulled the trigger on ordering any from Steve.  I'm not in any rush for them,, not even sure what design I would want.  I have 2 different brass stamps that I currently use depending on who the project is for.  

Thanks,
Barry

Those are easy to.make....I make them from 3 mm BB.  I design in Lightburn.

Just be careful about the size and remember the kerf makes it slightly smaller.  In Light burn you can adjust for the kerf.

I don't remember setting up the kerf in metrics in lightburn but this morning I drilled a 1" forestner bit into a piece of scrap and then while running a project I made a 1" circle into a scrap area of my project.. fits just slightly snug into the drilled hole so seems to be perfectly sized.. There could be issue with fitment if someone drills the hole and then waits a few days / weeks etc.. as the wood may have some movement.. not sure how the unfinished plywood might move too over a bit of time. I wouldn't think it'd be a big issue to where woodworkers couldn't make things fit properly.. I'm assuming they will be gluing these in? I do use a double sided tape for some layered projects and it's some strong stuff so could just make them so they peel and stick them into the drilled spot.

So I played around with a design this afternoon. I’m not exactly sure what you all might want on them as far as saying it’s handmade or just some sort of logo with your name like I did here. The detail of the stars on this don’t show as well as I’d like but sometimes getting down to such a small size gets difficult to keep fine details. Help a lot just going up to 1.25. Wasn’t really trying to do exactly what Steve did for his but if that’s what everyone wants then maybe do something similar.
