From an ordinary bolt and simple nuts, you can make a cool keychain with your own hands. The work is more manual, so a little patience and perseverance will not hurt.
So, for the manufacture of a homemade key fob, it will be necessary to prepare one long stud, four hex nuts, one wing nut and one cap nut.
The first step is to screw four hex nuts onto the stud. The extreme nuts must be tightened with a wrench.
The main stages of work
We clamp the free end of the stud in the drill or screwdriver's chuck, after which we grind the edges on the nuts, giving them an oval shape. Then the metal will need to be sanded and polished.
Then, on the resulting "barrel", the author makes a marking - draws vertical lines with a marker, and you need to make small grooves with a file, so that in the end you get an imitation of the outer "shell" of the grenade.
In the end, it remains only to make the rest of the details for the key fob from the wing and cap nuts. We give these parts the necessary shape, grind and polish. After that, we proceed to the assembly.
