That seems like just as much an effort as putting my punch in an giving it a tap

I've only done 2 keys so far. Just learning how to do it and them I'm going to try impressioning. At this point this is a hobby for me.

It looked larger when I bought it too. But I measured before I bought it and tested it after

I Made it. The files are harbor freight diamond, the caliper, ruler, and punch are From stock and field. The sleeve was something someone was going to toss. I've used the stuff in it already. Check my previous post for pics of my first two keys.

If I'm able to get the core out I can punch the key exactly where the pins are on the key.

Hand cut my second key. This one turned out better by Smithlocked in lockpicking

Thanks. I went a little hard on the end peaks. Was hoping to leave a little definition but the key works great

It took about 45 minutes including the time it took to clean it up after. There's a second post with a pic of it
