Steve Good is awesome at what he does. It is awesome of you as well how you give credit where credit is due and your scroll saw skills. Kudos to both you and Steve Good. The key chain maker is a good tool for someone starting out to start scroll sawing. I am still a big time noobie with scroll saw work. I am also new with using Inkscape. The difference between using the key chain maker vs Inkscape, is with Inkscape, you build everything from scratch and then you can evenly space the letters. For example, you create a rounded corner rectangle (1" x 6" with a 3/16" border). Type out the text, select the font you want to use. Then with the text selected, you resize the text to 5" x .641". Using the alignment tool, you can have both the box and text centered vertically and horizontally . Add your hole for the key chain. The with all three selected, set stroke to path, then put everything together with "union". Set your cutting border to 1 px, print and get to scrolling.
@@ArtisanPirate I am honored you liked the information. It was through Steve Good's videos is how I had learned about Inscape. Learning Inkscape is an other tool to add to your box of skill sets, allows you to create your own patterns.
Watched your video last week on how to make the key chains. Made one for my grandson who is graduating, it said 2023 grad. Thank you for all your tips.
Thanks for taking the time out to make this video. I really appreciate you sharing your know how and tips on how you make your custom compound cut key chains. I've done some flat cut scroll saw projects, mostly from patterns on the amazing Steve Good's website. - You see, I had a small cheap scroll saw, which I bought just to do a few cuts on a woodwork project, cost me next to nothing and was going to give it away after using. But as you'll well know, there's something about scroll sawing, like you said, "it's about sitting at the scroll saw and enjoying your hobby. Having on some good music and getting lost in your world of sawdust." So, after looking on the internet and finding Steve Good's site and your site, I was sort of hooked! Now after a few years, I want to try some more advanced cutting, so have taken the plunge and ordered myself a much better saw, the sort of quality you and Steve use. Hence, custom compound cut key chains are on my list of projects to try. Much respect to you, regards, David.
Thanks for the kind words, I truly appreciate it! I am glad and humbled that I am inspiring people to try new and amazing projects on their scroll saws! I hope your keychains come out amazing and I also hope that you post them so we can see the results!
Very cool project. When I was younger we would go to a theme park and they had a booth that would make key chains kinda like that. Keep up the great work. 👽
I am sure that you can make them with your eyes closed but I have made less than ten and I picked up a tip on cutting the letters like "R". I would have made two inside cuts but you combine then into one. Scrolling is taking a back seat to our gardening but I will try your method out as soon as I can. ☺
Super Job Mr AP. Just had a go at making one of these. Thanks for the inspiration and also for pointing out the difference in feed resistance when cutting the second side, that very nearly caught me out. All the best mate.
Another great video. But I have a question, if the two words are of different lengths, how do you get the shorter word’s frame to be the same as the longer word’s frame length?
As stated in the video, I sometimes need to add additional spaces or redraw the end brackets entirely, the key is to line up where the keyring is added
I love this video. I watch most of them. I have Steve Goods Key fob program but I never did it in a compound cut. Can you tell me how you get the pattern in a compound cut. I would love to try that. I typed two different names and they printed out but they were seperated and different sizes.Thanks, Ralph.
Sometimes I need to add spaces or just redraw the brackets free hand. I do take a straight edge and cut out the patterns and attach them to the blank aligning then as best as I can
@@ArtisanPirate thanks for your response. I did add spaces but it’s still a little smaller.but not by much. I printed out another copy and just cut the brackets off that one and lined it up with the original. Taped it together and scanned it it it and made a copy with both names.
We are honored! Thank you so much for your energy, enthusiasm and artistry. We're proud to call you an official influencer of Fox Chapel Publishing!

Another grwat project. I havent done these but I started cutting the military ones that Steve Good has in his catalogue. Thanks again Tyler
Glad you liked the video! And I have also done 2 of the larger Military patterns that Steve Offers
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. I make tons of the flat version. I'm going to try this version. Thank you again.
Awesome! I hope I get to see the results!

Yea I now only do the single internal cut with "R" as well as "B" and "A"
I hope to see some pictures of your garden posted!
Friend you are very talented ... Congratulations on what you do !!!
Mega Genial 😍💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you so much!

Thanks buddy! Hope you are well on your way to returning to the TH-cam World
@@ArtisanPirate Watch this space (he he)
You are fascinating! I’ve watched your videos and today I finally subscribed. Sorry it took so long. Please NEVER stop! I’m Scrollsaw Grandpa.
Thank you so much and thanks for the subscription!
You always make it look easy and try to give us confidence in trying new things. I have yet to try this one. Enjoyed, take care!
Thanks You So Much!
Cool, I love your scroll saw work, u would he so helpful for first due!!
Thank You!
Of course

I;m asking the same question.
As stated in the video, I sometimes need to add additional spaces or redraw the end brackets entirely, the key is to line up where the keyring is added
Have you tried using the Klingspore Sanding mops on these?
No I haven't but it may be a future option for sanding these! My concern would be some of the letters could break off
Aku nyasar gesss 😂
Ok?
Also what is that attachment on your clear coat spray can?
It's a pistol grip attachment that Rust-oleum Offers
Very cool. Congrats on your article. Can symbols be added, like a heart? Have you tried?
Thank You! And I do believe a heart can be added but the (#) symbol cannot, I was gonna make about 5 keychains for Mother's Day that said #1 Mom
Kool bro
Thank You!
