Compartment keychain instructions

Required Accessories:
• 10MM Drill Bit 
• 10mm barrel trimmer 
• 2piece Bushing Set: Compartment keychain bushings 
• 2 part epoxy glue or insta-cure (cyanoacrylate)

Preparing the Blank:
• Cut 5/8”to 3/4” square blank to the length of the brass tube (add 1/16” for squaring off ends).
• Drill a 10mm center hole lengthwise through the blank.
• Spread glue over tube. Insert into blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside.
• Center tube lengthwise inside the blank.
• When glue dries, square the ends of the blank. Use an 10mm barrel trimmer or belt/disc sander to take the wood down, flush to the brass tube. Make sure the wood ends are perpendicular to the tube.

Turning the Blank

• Turn the blank to the design of your choice.
