thatknobtony Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi everyone. To all my Canadian folks. Now that we don't have mail service, just the big box on the corner the wife asked me to make her a key chain. I did and thought what a great way to use up the scrap bits. I made girly stuff like doves, seahorse, cats and took them to work and sold them all. It wasn't a money maker but brought in a few bucks. Give. It a try guys.

thatknobtony Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Sorry Dan, what I meant was no more door to door delivery. Most of us go to a big ugly mail box now. Hi Kevin, I kept them simple. I thought anything fancy getting shoved in and out of a women's purse might not hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you detail file them with jewelers files ? Hi Kevin, no I didn't do anything fancy. I thought by the time girls shove it in and out of the purse rubbing up against the kitchen sink that they might not hold up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Steve Good has a key chain program on his page...www.scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com that you can make key chains with the person's name and it has no 'hang ups' that will catch on anything either.

don in brooklin on Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I love keychains. I usually do Steve's name ones. (Done probably over 200) but I like the idea of doing animals etc. as sometimes to long names just don't work as a keychain. I can see this working for tags on back packs. I add ball chain instead of d-ring. Thanks for the idea. Don PS: I love the community mail box. When I go away I don't have to worry about the mail building up in my mail box etc. plus small parcels are dropped there. I only go to the box a couple of times a week so no big deal. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use both the ring and the chain.. I used the key chains as a way of marking Christmas presents and each received a keychain with their name on it too.. was a fun way to use them, I thought Dick heppnerguy WayneMahler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Tony, my mail service hasn't changed. I get my mail delivered to my mailbox at the end of my driveway, and any parcels that I might be expecting get delivered right to my door. And, we do get a fair amount of parcels. If anything, service has improved. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Cadmus Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I make key-chain fobs using a method taught by Ron Brown of ronbrownsbest.com. The instructions use to be a free download. Last I looked though you need to buy a DVD. Cute, simple & fast. He designed this method to quickly make & sell at shows. ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
