My Morse keys

<< < (4/4)

No Bob I’ve not made one, there’s only one other key maker I know that has made them here in the UK and he’s just finished his third, there’s a few that make them in the states. Not sure if I want to make one really, I bought some drawings from a guy in the states for a sounder, when I got time I will have a go at making it but  all the measurements are in imperial  and I prefer metric so I got to re-draw then first.
Nothing against imperial I was brought up on them but been using metric for years now I find it much easier to work with, you yanks will have to let go and join the rest of the world.

Pure art!

How much time do you invest in making these?

johnuk6:
On average probable about 4 or 5 days depends on the key and how much time I have spare.

John.

Absolutely superb pieces. Nice metal work and wood plinths.

Although I live here in the states ( emigrated 20 years ago from the UK ) my grandfather still is a radio ham he is in his 90ies. His call sign begins with G3~~~~ don’t know the rest, he would die for such works of art.

I remember sitting at the dinner table as a kid and I would tap with my fork little messages to him while my grandma would be nattering to who ever over tea.

He was in the air force during the war, and was a spotter for where the ordinance was landing, tapping away in real time giving reports back home where the information was needed.

Thanks for showing us your work.


Anthony.

Gorgeous! What a delightful idea, and so well done.

It would be cool to sell these to amateur "hams" - wow!
