Dear friends, I’m calling upon your infinite wisdom.
I’m in need of a headbadge being made that I can Silver braze on to my bicycle. I have previously had them laser cut but after brazing the fine lines got filled with Silver and became lost. I have so far deduced I will need a headbadge that has the details engraved deep enough to hold paint but not all the way through. Ideally from 1.2mm brass so I can easily shape around the head tube of the bike.
I’ve looked into acid etching and CNC milling but with large set up costs and 50 as a minimum quantity. As I so far have only made 2 bike I was wondering if anyone knows anyone who takes on small jobs like this? I feel like CNC is the answer, I’m just not sure where.
Oh mighty and knowledgable ones, please help a sister out.
Attached photos show my laser cut head badge failure which once polished up makes a lovely key ring, and a headbadge by Demon which is the sort of thing I’m after, but not as thick/deep.
