Twisted Keyring Fob

Tools

Forge, anvil, hammer, tongs, vise, adjustable wrench/twisting wrench

Materials

• Mild steel square bar: 6–8 mm, 120–160 mm long

• Keyring split ring

Steps

1. Taper one end for a neat finish (optional).

2. Make the ring loop: Heat the other end and curl a small loop around the horn (or mandrel). This will hold the split ring.

3. Close the loop: Tap gently so the loop sits tight without overlapping.

4. Twist the body: Heat the middle section. Clamp one end in vise, twist 180–360° with wrench.

5. Straighten: Light taps to align.

6. Fit the keyring once cooled.
