As you’ve seen by some of our previous designs, we like to put our name out there.
This week, we decided to make a few business cards that strayed from our current design of gold text on black paper. We opted for a small, subtle change from this layout. Now, we’re making some out of stainless steel. The man behind the new business “card,” Mike Eastway, starts by drilling out the design on a single piece of unpolished stainless steel.
Once the design is cut out, you can see that it looks neat, but it’s not nearly ready yet. Next up comes a few rounds of sanding and buffing to eliminate any leftover shavings and most of the scratches:
After it’s polished enough to sufficiently blind whomever angles the card incorrectly, we hand it over to Tom, who was nice enough to run a small bead across the card. We like to show off our level of craftsmanship here at Fluid MotorUnion, so it makes sense that we’d include some of the best-looking welds in the country:
With everything said and done, it’s a process that takes a couple hours, but the end result is quite the beauty to behold:
