Alrighty Goats !
So last week @Puttitout got back to me about an idea I had in response to the angel announcement 3 weeks ago. Exploiting my contacts at work & our discount ordering privileges I got a few trinkets cut up as samples of possible Voat merchandise.
A big thank you to @Hell for the .DWGs btw.
So I ordered 2x keychains & 1x 6 inch tall Voat Goat, both 14ga (.083") 304 stainless.
Here's how they look with the protective plastic they'd be shipped in. It's very user friendly to unpeel ;) /s
The two keychains here alongside an easy to read metric ruler. The mini goats are way too small, I'd go 50 to 75 % bigger.
This is a #4 finish, it's what we had on hand as leftovers at the laser cuting center. I'd go with a mill finish (2B) for the keychains though as the brushed finish would get scratched quickly & I'd throw them in a tumbler to deburr the razor sharp edges anyways. But it's up for discussion of course.
2B Mill Finish comparison.
This is the 6" tall Voat Goat. I simply peeled away the film on the parts I wanted to spray paint and voilà ! Could make a nice desk ornament, propped up on a wood base or nailed to a wall. It did give me the idea for a goat head car ornament, aboot a 3" head with 3M foam tape on the back.
Now ! For the Commemorative HPOP Buttplug Keychains that @I-am-me ever so innocently suggested, I need an idea of how many goats would be interested bfr I bother my contacts with such a request... also a .DWG file that can be exported to MasterCam for ease of pricing :)
I'd welcome user submitted cad files to vote on in futur threads as to the final shape &... umh... size of this buttplug... fuck I know some of you sickos would use them anyways.
So what do you think Goats ? Is this something you would like to buy from the Voat Store ?
I propose limited runs on collectible user submited desings once in a while, or maybe time pieces like a SaneGoat Inc themed commemorative piece to celebrate the nuking of his alts.
Let's throw some feedback & ideas around, nothing is set in stone here. Putts has to give the go bfr anything happens anyways.

I NEED one of those small goat shaped key chains. Lets make this happen. Nice work!

Thx.
So far with the small amount of positive (although enthusiastic) feedback, I don't think it would be worth doing anything but a small batch based on pre-orders which would make everything more expensive :/

Are you able to give a ruff estimate on how much one might possibly cost?
Rotteuxx ago
Total cost is still to be established due to shipping options & amount to be ordered.
Material & cutting is less than 1$CAD each, add to that deburring & abrasives we're below 2$.
The question is, how much do we want to go to paying for server fees in the final price ?

I'd have no problem with paying $5 for the mini goat knowing that some, if not all, profits are going to voat. Shit, I'd probably still do it if you were keeping it all. Also a commemorative sane nuke would be great. His name on a nuke or a mushroom cloud or something would be cool. Maybe incorporate some tally marks for all his alts or something. I don't know, some creative person can figure it out.

I like where this is going

I think @Puttitout must get in touch with you for feedback.
