A little more progress

You know what can be as much fun as making a hairstick? Naming it. :)

I was only medium-fond of these hairsticks until I named them, and now I love them. These are Midnight Circus:

I have my final appointment with the disability employment specialist on November 14 at 1pm, so that will be the end of THAT portion at least. I've also discovered that trying to solder gold sticks is not a good idea so I will use other means to permanently seal any loops that could open during wear and end up in the stick dropping a component. My sticks do keep getting more and more sturdy, I'm confident that they will withstand normal wear very well, better than most hairsticks, probably, once my final design is implemented for *all* of them.

On Monday I have to mail a4 stick packages to my testers and while I'm there I'll ask the necessary shipping questions. Then I'll pretty much have all the information I need to be able to open the shop and all that's left is to create like a demon.
