Anywhere-- Kinkos does buttons I think, but I'm not sure. I have the original files, without the shadows, that can be taken to a printer and made into buttons.

Aaron - Why not post the image file in this thread or on the Freedompens.us site so we can all get some made. I'll get some buttons made and wear them at the Houston Woodworkers show coming up in Feb.

Keith, my name is Bobby McCarley and I have been following this great project of the Freedom Pens. I think it is great and as soon as I can get some pen parts I plan on doing my share of pens. Also, I would like to offer my help with some buttons. I have a button making machine and would be willing to make some buttons. It is a hand operated machine so I can't do mass production but would be more than willing to make some. All I would need is the art work and permission to make copies of it.

Keep the ball rolling,
Bobby McCarley

As soon as I can get in touch with Aaron we will post the original files for all three buttons.

Bobby, if you can make these buttons you have our permission to do so. I know that everyone will want one and understand that you cna only make so many. Thanks for pitching in, everyone is welcome, we need lots of help.

If I can find someone with a good quality printer I can laser cut clear acrylic disks for backs, a little adhesive and we've got buttons!

All,

Here are printable files.
I've included two versions of each.. one with the
shading (if you don't have access to a button press),
and one without the shading.

Feel free to print whichever. You may wish to scale
them down to 3 inches or so in diameter. Keith plans to
print his with shading and affix it to a circular piece of acrylic.

Good Luck!
