Home made Key video

I made this technique of key copying because a key should be able to be copied more quickly and be thin and flexible in your wallet as a back up. Everyone on youtube loves these videos, so someone suggested I share them in a post here where all the experts go. :D

Reason: If you use this youtube address format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_7nTz7Ygjo you can use the [youtube] [/youtube] tags to embed your videos here. I changed your links so they are embedded videos instead.

Thanks, I love to play in the trash, so this was a great idea. Are you allergic to the key machine?

Indeed, I can make a great button puller tool out of a milk jug I find in the trash. Let us all throw away our car keys!
Well, if you have a button, in your car--Otherwise how would you get in?
Using the key itself is obviously just not enough fun, on its own...

Let's try to be a little more welcoming to new members, or just don't reply to their post if it is not something you're into. If you're feeling cranky/snippy or having a bad day today, go outside and get some air or something please.

Thanks

I like the simple way you showed how to do the projects using youtube. Forwarded it to a co-worker who is getting interested in locks.

Agreed, the trick with copying the key profile onto the tape is so simple but I had never thought of it before. Good job.
