If you can incorporate the trellis frame in the design, the Monster design will be 90% done. ;D
I'd buy one.  [thumbsup]

Hmm, that's a possibility and (AFAIK) not trademarked, so that's a plus.  Another iconic monster "design" I was working with was using the tank design/profile similar to the 'Superbike' logo, i.e. abstract but recognizable.  Also not trademarked, so unlikely to cause me any grief if a made a few to sell.

Just a suggestion, how about incorporating the key into the bike design? Make it sit on the holder so it looks like part of the bike?

That could be interesting.  I was tempted to make it so that the key was inserted, like it would be in the ignition, instead or just hung on a peg...

Does the key pop onto that post?  Could you make it with multiple posts?

The clear post has a groove cut into to, the keyring just goes over the post and sits in the groove.

Working on some now,  I wasn't actually planning to make more but it seems like a few people would like one.  Now, just gotta figure out how much they will cost.  The original one is about the size of a sheet of paper, I was thinking of making some that size and some half that size, give a lower cost option.  [thumbsup]

How does it attach to the wall?

Lol, the holder is mounted to the wall.  It's all 1/4" Acrylic, laser cut...

Nice work Java, what's the wattage on your Laser?

The ones I made as a gift used double sided tape, kept it looking clean with no mounts visible.  But, I could easily attach an acrylic nail-hook like they have on picture frames.

Heh, well, it's not mine - I just have access to use it.  It's a 120 watt CO2.

Yeah, it does cut pretty nice.  Yup! Epilog Legend, great machine.  [thumbsup]
