RSSSimple & Elegant compact keychain
Carlito's Contraptions has a great, and simple, keychain project that anyone can finish in just a few minutes. It is so simple that it requires only 2 steps to complete, and step 2 is to "admire your creation". It would be hard to find a more elegant solution to a common problem of bulky and noisy keys in your pocket. - Link

Of course, part of the reason for a keychain is to increase its size to decrease risk of losing them all, and to give an additional handle to grab the bunch of keys by--I have a lanyard style key clip hanging out of my pocket, clipped to my keys.
Also, neither my van key, car key, nor either vehicle remote are flat and rivetable. :)

Yeah.. cool idea, !BUT! You just posted clear (copyable) photos of your keys onto the internet right next to a resume that has your address on it... that was a very poor idea. Keys are easy to copy. I'd change your locks...
gee, just tell EVERYONE

Mad Mike -
Wow, I didn't think of that!
Fortunately, those are not his current keys. Lesson Learned.

Don't worry guys, those are not my current keys. So even if you do a set of keys from my pictures, you still wont be able to get into my house with them (my Bogota rake would be required for that ;) ).
BTW, a big thanks to Make Blog for featuring my blog post
