Step 5 Keys 3

take all 130 circles and insert wood blanks into one side. next print out the letters number and symbols you want on the face of the keys. use a permanent marker to darken the inside of the cup where it meets the brass. set all the cups on plastic wrap. Cut out the inserts and set them aside. Drop 1-2 drops of thin cyanoacrylate into the cup with the wood insert in the bottom. drop the paper insert into the still wet ca (cyanoacrylate). once the paper discolors from the glue drop one or more drops of ca on top of the paper to seal the paper to the wood.

where did you get the letters?

Word document or photoshop type application then print on heavy paper. You can pick the font that you want. Something like a Vladmir script would work well.
