Here is a quick pictorial of making ear gauges.
Here is the base material.
Because of the swirl pattern I have to cut and pre-shape.
Since it's going into a lathe I round the corners.
I stick the pieces together with automotive two-sided tape.
Here is in the lathe.
After it comes out of the lathe I manually shape and polish the ends.

Yeah, they were fun to make. I don't think it's something I'm going to get into. The order was pretty large and it was a cool side challenge.
I don't think I know anyone with gauges. There is a friend of a friend who is into the Emo stuff and she has her ears done. I guess I'm too old for that trend? I do think it's cool though. The little ones anyway. I don't have the balls to go with the big ones. Those people are bad ass.

Not hard. A little time consuming, but otherwise no different than a Villain.
