These are based on this commercial product, an aiming aid for golf. I don't golf, so I'll take their word for how it works. A coworker said he'd like me to make one for him some day, and I said, how about today? I whipped the first one up on the evening of May 1, 2025. It only takes about half an hour.

It's a brass plate with a V-notched top edge and a fan of radiating slots engraved into it. Cut the brass to shape on the band saw, smooth it out on the belt grinder, laser engrave the marks, and fill them with epoxy.

On the back of that first one, I laser engraved my own logo.

A month later he asked for a batch. These got the K from our company logo on the back instead of mine, and I believe some of them were given to clients. Look at me - impressing customers on the golf course like an executive. Well, sort of like an executive. OK, nothing like an executive.
