    Wow what a memory. Yes this is my second and I did sell the first one. The bows on mine are lathe cut as well. I have on and off, been studying the art of blacksmithing, especially as it relates to lock and key making. Some things are surprisingly easier to do with a hammer on red hot steel than with machine tools on cold steel.

    Hello.
    Nice, precise work. A lot of elbow grease.
    Thank you for photographs.
    It will be interesting to see ended key.
