COPPER KEY


So I've been looking for ways to create the keys from Ready Player One, and with Jintosh's help I've made the copper key, it's made of brass and plated copper. It has a nice weight and shine like crazy under the light! The copper key is $50, shipping is $8 per key (heavy!), and I will start shipping in two weeks. PM me for payment info. Thanks, and....first to the key!!

JADE KEY

I have the first sample made, some tweaks are needed, but here's the key fresh out of the CNC machine, before polishing and holes are not bored yet. It turned out nice, and the color is so beautiful even before polishing.


The cost for CNC is very high, I did secure aventurine jade supply, but the price is $220 because so much labor went into each one, and the risk of jade breaking during CNC is high. Shipping is $30 for secure EMS shipping.

I'm ready to accept more orders on 2nd batch, price is as listed above, please PM me for payment info.


CRYSTAL KEY

These reflects light nicely so it really needs proper lighting. I had so much fun taking a bunch of pictures showing it shining under a LED light. Price is $130 per key, add $20 for shipping.

Now that all three keys are done, I wonder what I should do next...? :angel

Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

Are you clear coating these to prevent them tarnishing ?
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

Hey Kevin, I’d love to get three ...and when you make the next ones, I’ll take 3 of each...just pm me...and I’ll shoot you cash... thx bud..
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

I'm in for one and like Stormshadow, I'll take one of each as you get them done. :p
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

It's plated so it tarnish very slowly (years).

Thanks for your support and I am working on the other keys. :)
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

What were the other keys made from? I can't remember. Was one crystal?
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

If you end up making all three and offer as a set, I’d be so in.

I’m tied up in too many things to commit to this right now :unsure

the key looks really good, though.
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

Love to see all three as a set as well. Unfortunately, I can't get in on this run, but I will be looking out for the next ones.
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

I do plan on making all three keys, but each one is more difficult (how fitting), I should be able to show the jade key sample soon, crystal key is farther out.
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

Plating is in itself a way to stop tarnish, but everything tarnishes even plating, so the way to avoid it is to avoid sunlight and moisture.
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

Googling "stop copper from tarnishing" comes up with some purchasable products to coat the copper with. They look a little pricey, though.
 
Re: Ready Player One - Copper Key

Yes, each key is for sale separately, since I am still working on the other two keys and not sure of the cost yet.
