July 9, 200916 yr Hi all, Here is a little project I am just finishing up. It's a key that a woman commissioned for me to make from a picture she had. It's not quite as decorative as the original, but her budget didn't allow for any more detail work and this is what I came up with.
July 12, 200916 yr Author Thanks all for your kind words. The two key pieces were riveted on and then filed flush. The head was silver soldered on and shows no sign of ever coming loose. I have decided to do a little more detailed work the the head as I'm just not happy with it the way it is. I'll post the finished key here next week when I get some more time to work on it.
July 12, 200916 yr Wow, that is one nice looking key. I've made few keys aswell but they weren't that decorative, they were going to actual use. After seeing that one maybe I'll have some new things in mind the next time some lock needs a mate :)
