Nicely done Marcel, but at 1 euro per letter plus the hardware seem a little cheap.
That hardware looks expensive, maybe not.... ::)

you might be right a little.....
but on the other hand, that and the saw blades are the only really cost I've to make.
I consider that as "tithe"/ contribution to the fund raising.
we discussed the price, we even set a limit on ? 7,50 for 8+ characters and we think that's what Dutch are prepared to pay for a key chain.
and I hope we don't names with 10 Characters ;)
think it would be to long anyway , can't bend your knee with such a long key chain in your pants ;D


Nice, good cutting. Where do you get the key chain part?

did buy them on a fair/flea market 200 pieces in an old  ice cream box.
price was nice. don't know where he did get it.
just did look for some one Ebay, just look for "Lobster Clasps Clips for Key Ring KeyChains"
