Interesting that mine is from root beer and Mr. P’s is from ginger ale. Ginger ale is easily the more “hipster” of the two soft drinks.

However, underneath the cap, is glued the metal button from a pair of Levi skinny jeans I bought at a thrift store in Wicker Park (Chicago) in 1995, that allegedly were once worn by the lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins. I think that might get me noticed by the 20-something Goth girls that hang out at the indie coffee shop near me.

... are you trying to attract 20-something goth girls?

That's more maintenance than I would want to take on.

I was just going with the flow from the Hipster Bike video and thread.

Believe me, my 50-something accountant girl is all the maintenance I can handle at this point.

Sea, your cap is much more tightly crimped around the edge. I'm going to have to pick your brain for techniques on that. I had the idea to get a screw-down hose clamp and tighten it slowly around the edge to get a perfectly even crimp but haven't tried it.

I had a girl here at the office call me her "Work Dad" after I showed her how to check the oil on her car. When she brings her young son to work, he runs up to me and nags me to make paper airplanes for him to toss around.

Guess I'm a Work Grandpa too...

Technique I employed:
-Used a dab of the silicone-based adhesive discussed in the "coin" thread.
-Banged on it 4 or 5 times with a rubber mallet.
-Crimped the edges with a parrot-nosed pliers.
-Final (and most important) step: Hope.

I've gotten used to being told by servers in restaurants that I remind them of their dad...not yet used to "you remind me of my grandpa", but it's only happened 6 times, probably because I haven't been out as much during the pandemic.

I'll stay with the state quarter.

... and note that all logos on the site are free to download in high (enough) quality. What next ? ... digitally mold your fav logo onto a 3D metal sphere and you got a first new idea to work on further. Many shops will happily take that digital logo and print it on few crown seals for you.

The problem remains on the left side where crown seals won't fit.
