Anyone ever make a custom headtube badge?
I'm thinking it might be fun to do.
Possibly enameling.

If you're making one it may be an enjoyable project. For a quantity look
for a cloisonne house.

which unfortunately contain a date rape compound:

I'd call Rivendell and find out who does their badges.

Those are pretty sweet.
I'd also suggest finding some place that does wax casting. You form
your design in wax, place it into a cylinder that's then filled with
plaster. Once the plaster dries, it's put into a kiln that burns away
all the wax. There's a process where molten metal is injected into the
negative area in the plaster. It's pretty neat. We had a setup for it
at my high school.
Wax is more forgiving then dremel tool on metal.

I tried something similar once. I hand-drew the design I wanted on a
sheet of .040" copper using an etch-resist pen, etched it down about
..010 with PC board etchant, bent it to the desired curvature, stamped
in the numeric identifiers I needed using my steed leeter and number
stamps, had it chrome plated, and installed it with drive rivets.
This was on a piece of equipment for which an ID plate was mandated
but none was available due to the manufacturer having been out of
business for 20+ years. I could have gone with tin plate and
eliminated the need to stamp it before plating, but chrome seemed like
the better choice. It looked damn good, but the copper was soft; it
would not have been hard for it to have been damaged by incautious
handling. If I'd had access to a rolling mill and thicker stock, I'd
have work-hardened the sheet while reducing its thickness before doing
the etch work. Heating copper just makes it softer.

I agree. Never do something the easy way when a more complicated
method exists!
Sounds like an interesting project!

not sure if anyone makes one, but if you have a cnc machine, put in a
g-code in there and im sure u'll start with something.
