The outer folder contains a photo of Kevin Preston and details the origins of the company in 1991, after a request from his elderly mother, three years of research and the cutting of the first puzzle on 28th Sept 1994.

It's alot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching, and rarely discovered- so many locks, not enough keys.
Got myself a great white backdrop (plain dye king size flat bedsheet from Dunelm Mill) for some high–key photography. This was one of my first experiments with it.

We bought a house, today we got the keys. We’re gonna move in a little slow so we can paint and address a few things around the house while we wait for the internet to get hooked up. I am over the moon about this house. I am undoubtedly going to flood my account with the pictures I can share.
I am sure a lot of people have collections of keys like this...
The funny thing is that I do not know what most of them are for. I am quite positive that I do not need them but they are kept around just in case.

Replica of Nick's key from the series "Grimm". Made from machined and etched brass. This is the 'french map' version. At the end of season 1, they decided that the key would service as a stamp to print a map section and altered the etchings on both sides

I don't dare throw these old keys away; someday I may find what they unlock.

Hey guys.
I'm not dead, just lost my way.
I quit the 365 project, and I actually really haven't picked a camera in about a month. Just kind of lost the heart for awhile, but I'm back!
Obvs since I quit 365 I'm not going to update as often, but I hope to get inspired more & take more pictures.
This particular photo/piece came to me randomly today and I really felt the need to create it. They key is a $1 ornament from Wal-Mart and I drew the outlines of the brains and the text.
I originally made it to post at hitrecord.org but thought I'd share it here too because I'm so very (probably too much) proud of it. I just really like it.
What's hitrecord.org? It's a collaborative art community that is absolutely amazing, please check it out! You upload your art (text, photography, poetry, animation, etc.) and anybody can download it and use it to create even more things ("remix"). I could go on and on, but you should really just check it out yourself :)
Anyhow.. enjoy!
My beautiful wife in a high-key portrait. Thank you love for your infinite patience.

Most of these are car keys, but two of them are marked GAS, and nothing else. Any information appreciated.
The primary purpose of key making is to control access to the things and places you want. Key can open a lock and gain access to these areas; however, keys can also be used to trigger certain mechanisms. When we think of a key we probably think of a house key or an auto key, however, keys are of many different types and purposes. A master key is used to open many locks. Master keys works with a combination of a personalized and master key opening mechanism. Tubular keys are commonly used in alarm systems, these keys have circular shaft which makes it difficult to unlock when it is locked accidentally, and making a new key is not as easier with tubular keys as it is on a flat key. An old-fashioned lever lock type of key is known as skeleton key and the latest one is magnetic key mostly used in holes and dormitories.
With the technology advancement these classic key is benign replaced with other modernized forms. Now electronic combination locks are being used in cars, garage doors and home security system. Keyless entry system in another feature commonly used in modern days cars. In keyless entry system a computer chip is encased in a plastic fob, used to open and start a car.
If you have lost keys or your keys are stolen or you only want a spare, key making is possible for any type of lock and key to a locksmith. Locksmith uses key cutting machine, saws, buffer, key gauges and many other tools to get a new key cut or key replacement for any type of lock. If they are using a key duplicator they don’t have to do much more than loading the machine to get a brand new key. The advanced key cutting machines easily produces a new key cut for a lost of broken key on a key blank. A computer software then checks the accuracy of the new key cut whether it’s perfectly fits to the lock or not. For a vehicle lock the new key is coded with the car lock or ignition lock combination and then it is reprogrammed according to the ECU.
Key making is easier and less cost effective from a locksmith. Their technicians are experienced and are given trainings on regular basis with latest trend
