NT9K, A newcomer to the telegraph key builders of this day and age. My name is Bill and I enjoy building custom made straight keys and sideswipers. My keys are hand made with very few power tools. I build with wood or solid surface kitchen counter top materials like Corian and Avonite. I prefer to build my keys with lots of TLC and I am very slow, but meticulous with my work. I have no plans to mass produce keys and only do this for fun, part time.
