pewter GS500 keychains

Hi everyone,

Been making some pewter keychains for myself. Just wondering if anyone out there would be interested in a GS500 one?
I've included a pic of mine so you can see the quality of it. The GS one would be like the pic below.
Setup time is fairly lengthy so i'm just puttin it out there to see if there are enough people interested in one. If so I will make some up. I figure the cost would be $10 Cdn...plus shipping and would include circle split ring for the keys...i also have the beaded chain too...if its gonna be on the bike i would suggest the split ring one...the beaded can slip apart at the connector unless you crimp it tight.

Send me some feedback and let me know. :thumb:

yup...they are hot cast gravity technique. The mold making is the hardest part...sometimes i might have to make a few attempts at it before i get one that turns out well.

Just wanted to mention too...obviously its metal so it would probably mark up your handlebar mounting area a bit jangling around. Not really a concern for me...mines already marked up from the other keys i have on my current plastic keychain. If thats a concern for people i would suggest putting a piece of clear vinyl tape over that area...will keep it from gettin marked up.

Anyways, if i get around a dozen or so people interested i'll make some up.

the mold technique is a multi step process....i have a vinyl plotter which i rigged to use my dremel in...so consider it a limited pseudo router. Hand clean up is necessary after that...thats your master object....then i make a mold off of that. The mold itself then needs some modifications done to it to get a proper casting from it. Once cast, there is some clean up and filing needed, put in a oxidizing solution to blacken the metal, buffed, then the hole drilled.  Trust me...lots of trial of error figuring this stuff out :).

okay cool...looks like there's enough interest in it. I'll be starting on it tonite. Will probably take a week to get a workable mold done and ready for casting. Then i'll get a hold of you by private message and we can work out the details. :thumb:
