 Patch,

  Like the assortment of your key chains. Was wondering where you got the patterns you used, or how you got them to fit.

I make those key chains too. (I get the chain in bulk from Ace Hardware too)
But, I have an interesting story about cutting them for customers.
I was selling some items at a Flea Market (not much luck) and I had 4 or 5 of the key chains on display. They had names like "JOE", "BOB" "JUDY" etc. A young lady ask me how much they were and I said, "$4.00". She ask if I could cut some for her as Christmas gifts. "Sure" said I, "how many?" Oh about eight she said. "Here is a piece of paper, write down the names." (Oh yea, I forgot to mention, she was from out of town and wanted them mailed to her home.)
Well, when she handed the paper back, there were 8 names on it....ALL LAST NAMES!!!! the shortest one had seven letters in it!!!!
You're right....Alot of work for $32.00 and shipping!!! Never again, in the future it will cost $1.00 per letter!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha

Rog
PS forgot to mention, she had miss spelled one of the names and I had to re- cut it!!
An ounce of responsablity is worth 10 pounds of state and fedral laws.

Rog : When I make something like this and tell the person to write the name  down , I also explain to them { for this same thing has happened to me }  if the spelling is wrong there is still a charge on that certain item also . This way your covered on the end ..for  it's not your fault .............Marshall

I just made my first keyring last week and gave it to a friend for here birthday. Her moms reaction was "Where did you buy it, I have never seen these before", my friends reply was  "Because he made it himself". Made one for another friend it's her birthday today so want to see her reaction.
Wonderful program Steve thanks, the possibilities are endless i think.

Here are some of my Key Rings that I made off of Steve's key ring printer program , they are already gone for they were presents to be given a way ........tell me what you think .....they are made out of 1/4" BB plywood and other hardwoods . I have noticed that on another web site the guy sells them made out of 1/2' material , and if I make anymore I think I'll try the 1/2" material also . Mr. Steve Good has been such a unbelieveable big help to me in my scrolling > my hats off to him ......Marshall   ;D
......................................Nice job, they are fun to make.

Hey, Patch, I made four key ring fobs just today (thank you presents for some people at work who have gone out of their ways to help me with a big project).  Did you use Inlace on yours or something different?

I went to the family reunion and showed some of my work. My aunt saw the jesus on the cross key chain patteren and asked how much. I told her $4.00 each she asked if she wanted 52 for christmas gifts so I went to $2.00 each. and sent her 56 in all so she had some spares if anything happened in shipping. She was so pleased some of the kids made necklaces out of them. Thanks steve.

I use coloured sand and liquid glass(Aristocrat) for a different effect I mix 2 or more colours together
