Well, I'm not one of the pre-beta testers so this may have been a waste of
time. But heck, any chance to fiddle around in Pov is a welcome opportunity.
So, here's a keychain...

Hmm. I like the design idea, but having that outer ring looks a bit clunky
to me. I definitely like the idea of having the POV logo- the actual 3D
shape, I mean- embedded in it. I made something a little like that last
night- I'll post it here. Keep up the good work, people!

Nice idea, unfortunately, very hard to make. The process being used involves
die-striking the metal, meaning I can't have holes inside*, and I can't have
any fiddly parts ;(

* actually, I can, but it costs extra because it complicates the cutting die
  process.

Well the outer ring, in this design, is necessary, as the inner disk spins
freely on the axis. I've been seeing a lot of keyrings in the lsat couple of
years that are like this. Disks or squares that spin inside and outer
framework.

But, as Chris was saying, the design is a fair bit above the cost
constraints he's dealing with. So, I'll go back to the drawing board. :{)

Yea, I wasn't sure if this concept would be cost effective. I've seen a lot
of these keyrings lately and thought it'd be fun to at least do one up in
POV. I'll see what other ideas I can come up with. :{)
