ride4fun Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just testing the water to see if anyone would be interested- Recently started a new engeneering apprentaship and have nearly completed my cource for turning, and wondered what i could make to make myself some extra cash. (pay not being the best in the world)... ... so i was browsing through google and found someone else on here had made some shotgun cartridge and air rifle pellet keyrings which looked pretty smart. Heres my bash at it. .The air rifle pellet is made from steel but in future will be made of aluminum to save weight as it is pretty heavy .The cartridge body is made from steel and the head is brass, but in future the body will be made of ally for the same reasons .The black one is made from plastic and aluminum, which unscrews so you can put things inside. Im thinking they could be put on keys or on the zips on gun bags or cartridge bags ect... estimate prices- £10 each inc postage. if you could be interested just post many thanks ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they will polish up nice yes mate no probs, the ones i have done were the first and to be honest they are not the best they can be. the ally will give a lot better finish for the metal cartridge and i will give them a polish before i send them out. many thanks ant.

ride4fun Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 It seems like everyone prefers the brass and aluminum one to be screwed so ive priced up materials and i will start making them next weekend. also to anyone that needs them made to measure or anything just put up a post and il do my best. many thanks ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Dog whistle is approx 3.5 inches long so if it was between 3.5 and 4 inches long you could fit a whistle inside and hopefully enough room to drop the lanyard around it.....just thinking i normally have my dog whistles wrapped around the rear view mirror but how better to have it tucked away in one of these on your key ring let me know how much etc Cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~MX Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hi Ant, they look good mate and they can only improve with each one you make If you can make the brass head cartridge to screw apart like the other one I'll take one Please ?
