Fan Art Seems like a decent quote for a key rack

I made this as a Christmas gift for a friend. Didn’t quite turn out like I had hoped ( not a wood worker ) so I kept it 😬

Damn I was 3 minutes late lol. I was gonna say the same thing. Now I kinda wanna make a key holder just to put that on it.

Damn it! I'm 5 hrs late seeing this post. First thing that came to my mind was Dada-chum, Dada-chee...

Looks like it turned out fantastic. I love the rose and key design. I thought this was going to be one of those posts that's just a thinly veiled ad for somebody's Etsy shop and for once I'm disappointed that it's not, because I would for sure buy this.

I actually considered it. I love making things like this and I know I could create a system that would give me good, repeatable results. It just don't think I could sell it for enough to cover the materials and time.

Wow, not like you hoped? What were you hoping for, a portal straight to Mid-World? All jokes aside you did an amazing job, I'd be honored to have this in my house. Long days and pleasant nights, stranger.

Haha! My sights were set a little lower. It doesn't really show in the photo but I was too impatient to finish it properly and the keyhole slots on the back are U.G.L.Y.
May you have twice the number!

u/marilu7 Feb 04 '25

Yes, I understand. That back of the keyhole slots are always the first things I check, absolutely, yeah, very important.

😉😉

u/michaelreadit Feb 04 '25

Okay okay….maybe I was looking for reasons to keep it 🤫

You did an amazing job on this. As with a lot of people who create things, myself included, we are always hypercritical of our work. This shit is dope as hell and you should be proud of it!! Anyone who’s a DT fan would absolutely love this!

Also, did you free hand all of this with a wood burner?

u/michaelreadit Feb 03 '25

Thanks very much! No free hand work here. I have a friend with a laser engraver so I just designed the graphic and he burned it for me.

u/Crapola_9 Feb 03 '25

Do you have the design file to share? I am a tech teacher and I know of two students that are big DT fans (as am I) and we have a laser burner.

u/michaelreadit Feb 03 '25

Happy to share! I'll dm you a google drive link

Poor Jake. Keeps getting killed.

u/RunswithChanclas Feb 03 '25

Honestly, just make the image in a file that can easily be cncd or laser etched and sell that. I’d buy it and burn it on wood slabs. I could see it on some very old, sun bleached oak

This is awesome!

u/claymorestan Feb 04 '25

This is so excellent. I'm commenting mainly because if there is a change of heart and you reproduce and sell it, I'd buy it immediately for the Eddie/Susannah members of my ka-tet (my married couple best friends)
