Practice makes a reasonable better product...
I started the day with some yard work and after filling the pickup with yard waste, I almost didn't do any forge work. I forced my butt out to the forge to restart the key. I'm really glad that I did.
I was able to remake the key (this is key #3) in a very short period of time. It only took me about 2 hours. I still need to do the fine work on the key but I'm happy with how it came out. One major improvement over the previous keys is that this one is much thinner. Although this might sacrifice a bit of strength, it makes it so much easier to file the key to shape as there is much less material to file away.
My camera is on vacation in Ireland otherwise I would post some pics. When I get back from a business trip, I will see about getting some pics online.
