Custom Swiss Army Keyring
I was tired of the old way of save my keys, then saw an image that inspired me, was a Swiss army knife, and as it was, I went and look for a piece of plate aluminium and a couple of screws, after a couple of drafts decided to change how to take my keys for a more entertaining way, so i made this.
Building Material
what you need:
-keys... of course
-3 mm aluminum plate
-a couple of screws.
- a pair of nuts.
-bit and drill.
-hand saw.
-some washers.
-safety gloves... you'll see why.
- a little creativity, just a little.

Let's Draw
We must accommodate the keys in a comfortable position and that we like.
We will then create a template that will serve as a guide in the next step.

Mark Parts
what you need to do now is to cut the template.
- after mark guide on the piece points to cut the pattern that we have designed.
-the piece is cut and is drilled a couple of holes where the screws will go.
- finally have to smooth sharp edges.

Assembly
Now we must unite all, put the screws, put the keys, we separated with washers to facilitate movement, and we ended up!.
well, actually can do a lot more, like, polishing, anodizing, etc.
but for practical purposes, this is enough.
hope it helps (^_^).
