No such thing as scrap metal...

  Started work on the key today.  Most blacksmiths will almost never throw away a piece of metal of any real size.  Well, when I went to make the key I used a piece that I had experimented on with the clock probably about a year ago.  The key still needs some cutting and filing but I'm happy with the progress.  These pictures show how I split the metal in order to make the handle.
