This is key number 133 at the moment it doesn't exist, it lives on a scrap of paper as a rough sketch (and between my ears) hopefully it will be a big key a cross between all my latest keys and incorporating all their good points, a long angled down handle with a large headstock to balance it, the bearing holders to be made out of a tower of hex blocks, I'm also going to try some different ballraces, the same favourite 7mm but with a larger 4mm centre diameter, the contact post will be angled up to a slotted disk with an isolated stop the bottom will stretch out across the base where the front big front terminal will sit and the base will be Oak , a huge solid long lever key but with a fine balance and quality bearings to give it a superb action, time to start cutting the brass, to realise the dream :()  10th June 2008

 

 

And now more or less complete, the action of this key is really superb, as good as I had hoped for, this key so far has all the hallmarks of a winner.
the counter weight under the knob working well against the headstock, also I have "fine tuned" the action by milling off the edges of the contact spring strip until it's just right, giving that almost imperceptible bounce that all the finest keys have, the ultimate low slung long lever action key
