A new straight key base

Found this tiny little cutting board while we were at our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and thought it would make a nice little block of material to test the CNC machine with.

After seeing it on my desk, I decided it would be much more useful as a new base for my J-38 key. It’s about twice as heavy as the old base I made out of a piece of 1×4 wood.

A bit of sanding, a couple coats of spray polyurethane later, and the J-38 was attached to the new base. Some rubber feet on the bottom help keep it from sliding around on the table.

Quite pleased with the way it looks. I like the way the J-38 feels on the new base.
