I was looking for a usable key holder for my home. But in the internet, I found no good idea, so I decided to create my own one.

You need a piece of wood. You can use any kind of wood. I took a piece of an old counter top. The important thing is that it's at least 40 millimeters thick.

The Slots for the Keys.

My piece of wood is 40 millimeters thick. So i adjusted the circular saw to cut 30 millimeters deep.

I marked the slots for the keys with a 20 millimeter gap.

Then i cut the slots.

The Hanger.

To hang it on the wall you need a hole in the back. It is important to drill the hole between the slots. I adjusted the drill press in order not to drill through the wood. In this hanger i drilled only one hole to hang it on the wall with a nail. But after wards Ii found out it is much better to hang it with two nails.

In order to make the chipboard nicer, I decided to grind and paint it.
