Key Clam Impressioning Shells
I will upload a picture of my draft when i get home and draft it (shouldnt take too long, I can even do an animation if ur interested) Mine will be made of durable plastic (probably acrylic) and you can provide your own clay...
I was just wondering if anyone would like to jump in and get this tool when i order the parts I will just order more for each person that wants one. my design is 4"x2.5"x1" so its about the size of a cell phone (a little bigger these days). how I get these parts is I draft the design and send it to a cnc milling place and they make the parts and i assemble them... rather simple right.
I can make any tool this way if you have any requests for neatoe tools let me know... but i can only do this in plastic for now as i have not found a metal company i like yet.
basically it works by putting clay in as shown, putting a key in the clay and closing the "clam" and it will push the key in the clay... then you pour liquid metal of some sort in and you have a key... or you can stare it down and cut ur own key from a blank... or you can use fimo clay and make a mold that way... just something fun that will come in handy for those that may need it. or something to play with for those that done...
and i wont sell these just to any member, you need to be a respected member, not just a log in to get this tool kind of guy. respectablness will be judged by me. feel free to comment or pm me if you want one or have any ideas to make it better...
and i only plan to do this once and i dont plan to order extras so if you are wanting this tool you need to jump on it nowish
