Keyrings

[kkwall]

Hi All,


Have started to make keyrings. It's a great way to use up small off cuts that you have, and make great small gifts.


They are proving very popular with friends and family, and I hope will be a good seller for Christmas??

Kenny, very nice keyrings. Quite a selection you have there.

Hey Andy, you are very busy these days. Pens, clocks, casting and now keyrings. Things like these keyrings and the keyring pens are great for putting inside Christmas crackers. Last year was our turn to host the families and my wife made the the crackers from kits with stuff like that in them. Big success

Kenny great idea for the off-cuts, I`m sure they will be a fantastic seller![]

Oops!!![:I] Sorry Kenny!!!!! But they looked good enough to come from South of the Border.[}]

Hows the exedus going? Do you have a date yet?

Nice job. I've been busy lately making those also. I made a nice display out of Walnut that really helps attract people to them.

Hi Guys,


My photography must be improving if you thought Andrew made them.


Bit of a slur on Andy though!![:0]


You'd be surprised what we can make up here in Haggis bashing land! It's not everyone who can brave the cold climate and harsh conditions to work in Scotland.


Not that I have anything against any soft southern Welsh or English pansies![)][}][}]

Hey Braveheart, aren't you the one who's bailing out to sunny warm Oz??[}]

 

[GoodTurns]

nice batch Kenny, sure to make some folks happy

Cheers everyone for the comments.


Steve - It is true, I am going to new sunnier pastures. It just goes to show how harsh and cold a place Scotland is that I feel it necessary to make such a move![8D][] Should be anytime now, once we get the house sold. Perhaps before Christmas, but if not sometime in the newyear.

The one second from the bottom is my favorite. Nice work on all of them.

Nice work there Kenny, i like the second to last also, might have to borrow that shape[}]
Gopes to show that great minds think alike, i to have started to do some keyrings. I have been sorting through my rubbish pile to get out all those little pieces

I must be a real tough nut then, moving north of the border[] or is that just a nut[)]

 

[skiprat]

See... I didn't make a mistake after all. [)]It was you two that posted wrong[}]

Say sorry, Mark

Nice work Andy. I like the spirals. Were they done with your spiral tool! I need to get one of those. The one furthest to the left is a good idea. I'll steel that shape from you!

Steve - Andy is soon to be one of us haggis bashers. We will give him the initiation as soon as he moves north. Mark, can you catch a live haggis and keep it for the big day? I'll supply the scotch mist. (One leaves and another takes his place!)

Kenny I`m trying to catch the Loch Ness monster, I`ll bag a Haggis for him on the way by the heather and thistles, hope the thistles don`t go up ma kilt like last time![xx(]

Steve I`m sorry, not![)]

 

[UKpenmaker]

The spirals are made with the Sorby tool Kenny.
Caught Nessie yet Mark[]

 

[GaryMGg]

Nice work -- both of you! When I started making pens last December, I made a number of key rings and gave 'em out as stocking stuffers. When I go to my youngest daughter's place, she's got one hanging on the keykeeper near the door. It's an osage orange Christmas tree similar to Kenny's second from the bottom.
I really like that spiral. [8D]
