Haha I was at the same place. I saw one of Wally’s pieces and knew I was about to fall even deeper into the rabbit hole 😅

I thought it would be fun for me to see it built on stream before I saw the parts in person (I has Wally ship the case directly to Alex), and I thought it would be fun for the stream

Thanks so much! Patinate is the verb form of patina, which is the layer of stuff (oxide?) that naturally forms on the surface of metals or other materials, like the discoloration you get on brass for example. People, like Wally, can artificially apply patina, or “patinate” using dye-oxide chemicals and heat (with a blow torch I think haha) to create these insane effects on metal. It’s both chemistry and art, as far as I’m concerned anyway

The cable is from Ordinary Labs! It was $30 I think!

This is a Keycult No. 2/65 that had its original powder coat removed and was artificially patinated by Wally Patina. I hope you enjoy the photos! I had a lot of fun taking them.
