I was a military telegraphist but never became a 'ham' however, I do like the look of this key and wondered about the tension compared with the older keys in the 70's. One I hated was where a huge block of metal with a morse key was attached to our legs in the back of a land-rover using old valve HF transmitters.
I ordered a Titan Jr. Recently and cannot wait to get my hands on it. I looked at many straight keys over time and kept coming back to this page. Superb work and worth the wait!! De Dave K3FT
You made the machine come to speak! Charming work, congratulations! I visited your site and was impressed by the other woodworking projects you have done as well! Your club and fellows are very lucky to have you! 73... TA2NUH
@@kellyklaask7su990 Using magnets is also a very good idea. I saw the video you demonstrated how they work. Keeping the second magnet hidden under the surface definetely looks more classy. Thumbs up!
Very beautiful work, makes me wanna get proficient in CW even more. I'm trying not to get sucked into collecting keys but your work is a must have for sure. Btw, that song is stuck in my head now. 73, KS5KY
Good afternoon! I'm Radio Amateur PY1MAA. I live in Brazil. I will be visiting my daughters next week in Los Angeles. I would be flattered to have one. I would like to buy your beautiful telegraphy key. How much does it cost to ship one to LOs Angeles? Grateful.

Thanks Dave! After I finish the one I’m working on now, yours is next! 73.
Key and video both exquisite worksmanship. There's something incredibly restful in watching that key slowly come together to that music.
Thank you sir for your kind comments!
I’m not a machinist and always wondered how knurling a screw head was done. Now I know, thanks! Nice work.

I own two of Kelly's keys. They're not only works of art, but they have great balance and feel. de KE7LOY
Congrats very nice !
That's definitely nice to have a proper machine park. To some extent, I even envy you since I have neither one nor place for it. 73 de R2ATO
impressive video, the problem for the common" homebrewer is that what R2ATO is saying.
Truly craftsmanship! Club is indeed lucky to have you! Mentor others!
You're a talented guy. 73's KC4TP

You're welcome! Ordered my Titan key this AM. 73!!! K4TIN
"20 hours of work" My first thought was, OMG, how much are you charging for these?! But the price isn't bad at all. Clearly a labor of love.
Thank you. Yea, I'm certainly not getting rich on these. I'm in it mostly for the entertainment value! :)
nice work
Wonderful ! ! !

Neither do I.
Kelly this is beautiful key. One day i will get one for myself, but for God sake - move your wet sander away from these recipticals!!! ;-) de W9POL
LOL! Those receptacles make for a "shocking" experience!
Hi hi... good job Kelly! 73's
or add GFCI to your circuit and have exterior gang boxes with covers
Is that just regular Super glue holding your magnet in?
Early on that's what I used but now I use red Loc-Tite.
Do you have any dimensions for this key please
9 1/2"L x 3"W x 2 3/4"H. Thanks!
this is a bloody awesome project, im just getting going with ham and cw but i hope i can do something like this one day. 73 vk3frjh
