Silverware! Keys 2575 - 2584
Many years ago (yes, this project is lasting for such a long time I can now accurately start blog posts this way) I was gifted some silverware to use in my key-making adventure (thanks June!). And now, finally, after some You-tube videos and a Mother’s Day gift of a ring bender, jewelry tumbler, and some bolt cutters I am making keys with that gorgeous silverware!
To make these keys, I cut up some silverware, filed the edges, bent the bits into various shapes, created some key shapes, and put all the bits into the tumbler.

Maybe one day I will learn to solder. At this point I am continuing on with my usual method of gluing pieces together with E6000 glue and then coating everything with EcoPoxy Resin.
Here’s what I’ve made:
