Will the real safetygoat please stand up?
Monday, October 5th, 2009
I wanted to include some facts about goats on safetygoat’s about page, and was searching for more information on goats in relation to water sports, swimming and boating. Some sites said that goats hated the water and would avoid it at all costs, while others claimed goats were great swimmers.
This lead me to youtube today, where I found Fred, a goat who loves to swim and also wears a bright orange lifejacket.
I am surprised.
When I came up with safetygoat, his swimming abilities were a figment of my imagination! Just as they say, in this big wide world, “Anything is possible!”
Safetygoat up to his old tricks again!

I sent a little safetygoat to Joy, a prize winner from my bview “take the cake” competition I’m running at work, and boy did he get up to some mischief! She sent me some photos of his shenanigans and I thought I’d share them with you.
P.S. if you happen to see a safetygoat around causing trouble, take a picture and send it over to me!

Making of a (plastic) goat
Thursday, July 17th, 2008
The project: to make multiple copies of the goat to attach to keychains. The question is, how does one do this? After inquiring around the UK about producing them from a 3-d model, smaller companies said they couldn’t do it. The other option was to get it produced in China. Minimum runs are at least 1000, and I wasn’t sure if I *REALLY* wanted 1000 plastic goats (now I think I do, but when I started all this, I was nervous about the number). So I started looking into making my own silicon mold, filled with poly-eurathane (plastic).
This post will go through my entire process of making a two sided mould, and detail all the stuff I learned, and show you my (limited) successes!
