Finally Finished My Paddles!!

[ve6wtf]

A while ago I started collecting those stupid little fake credit cards you get in the mail from time to time...

So I found a use for them!! they make some really cool little keys.. I made one key with a american express card and a budwieser bottle cap a screw and a brass strip.

and I FINALLY made a set of working paddles that are on a gold american express card. I can consistantly send morse at 28 wpm with them.. I have added a peice of velcro to the bottom so I can strap it to my leg. or my chair.

That's pretty cool. Can you make one that will break down and fit in your wallet? :)

Will have to try that one next..
It would have to be pretty robust.
but it could be done

That would be awesome!
Might take some major think power and skill to do it though.

Look for the MACRO setting (setting has a picture of a flower usually) on that camera and post some clearer shoots please, looks cool!
