First batch job

My wife is a product manager, and tomorrow she has an open house where she and others from her team will be demonstrating a new software tool to the end users. Since I was looking for reasons to use my new toy, I asked if they would like a sign or something. We settled on necklaces.

Material: Proofgrade Maple Ply

Hardware:
Jewelry starter kit: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IGR5CXI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Necklace cord with clasps: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008TO5CIY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The cords are really cheap, but they only need to work for a few hours so it’s ok. Getting the eyelets to screw into the wood was a little tricky, but I ended up drilling a small pilot hole with the smallest drill bit I had and then using that to keep it from wandering while I got it started with pliers. Again, should hold for the few hours it needs to.

Gosh, so much better than the standard lanyard!

What a fun idea! And even MORE fun to get to make them yourselves.

Nice! I’d personally increase the whitespace around the edge a bit by shrinking the fonts a touch. But they came out fancy.

Yeah, I agree. This was a very quick job for one-time use during an event tomorrow (and to give my wife some nerd cred at the office.) It’s so nice to be able to make something like this so quickly!
