I've been following your blog for a while and I'm noticing that there haven't been any updates on the Daft Punk projects and I was wondering if we would be seeing any updates soon. Also, in a previous comment, you stated that later in the project you would be selling castings of the helmets. I was curious to see if you are still planning on selling them and If I could obtain a couple at some point. Again, keep up the amazing work and I look forward to seeing more of the project.

I was wondering, at my school ...Hi Mr. Reimer, <br /><br /> I was wondering, at my school we have a cure for cancer dance comming up in march that currently does not have many people showing up. I was attempting to make a few helmets from various dj's, such as deadmau5 who i already made, and my next two were the daft punk duo. In order to raise support and get more people to come for this event to raise money for the four diamonds foundation, i wanted to ask you if i could have your files to only make one of each helmet. I understand that you do not want them distributed, so you already have my name, and my email adress is TyStorr@gmail.com, so i can promise you i will not distribute them. If you do (and you won't) see these files back online, you have my name and you can sue me or something? If you could please consider this, and reply back to my email. Thanks!!!Tyler Storrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028582526496828123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219958125389265546.post-14368052154478444182011-01-08T00:28:50.736-06:002011-01-08T00:28:50.736-06:00If your determined and have a fair amout of spare ...If your determined and have a fair amout of spare time on your hands you could allways puch out all the holes by hand using a leather or hand sewing punch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219958125389265546.post-28722211968309805932011-01-06T13:51:15.859-06:002011-01-06T13:51:15.859-06:00Hey David, just saw your project, great to see how...Hey David, just saw your project, great to see how much ambition you're putting into this, can't wait to see the finished product.

With his equipment, laser engraving the vinyl would produce toxic fumes and would damage the laser.<br /><br />Screen printing it is still probably my most cost effective method of getting the right look. After all, it only needs to look like holes from a few feet away. ;)David Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822001040100771573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219958125389265546.post-66419757847909042972010-12-03T10:00:30.639-06:002010-12-03T10:00:30.639-06:00@ Valley Spinners and Weavers
Thanks for the tip!...@ Valley Spinners and Weavers<br /><br />Thanks for the tip! I checked out that website, and it's definitely a good find. It's pretty pricey, though, at $30 a yard. But it's definitely the right pattern and size. I've estimated it out to be a 1/4" perforated grid, and that's what they sell. It's foam-backed, though, and the material on the jackets looks to bend, flex, and crinkle more like flannel-backed vinyl. <br /><br />I spoke with a local screen printer I know about printing on the hole pattern as an option, and we basically worked it out so that all I'd have to do is buy him dinner one night and I could come over and screen the panels myself.<br /><br />However, your first comment has given me another idea. You mentioned that they ponoko could laser cut the pattern. Since I had the detail inserts for Guy's helmet laser engraved, I wonder if the same trophy shop could laser engrave on vinyl? I'm thinking out loud here, but if it can laser cut into wood, surely it could cut this vinyl. I'd be a little worried about it burning the material and leaving scorch marks, but he's got a transfer tape that he covers the piece in that's supposed to burn instead of the material..
