First glance very dissapointed... 1 hour later.. joyful as the sun!!
The beauty of it is what I first disliked!! It LOOKS like a normal key!! And I getto age it to my own personal taste...
Exactly my thoughts mate !
In the beginning I thought that it wouldn't impress anyone.
After a bit of practice I started gaining confidence and was quite happy.
The first reactions where great ! I urged them to grab it at any point they thought I was doing something. It left them buffled !
I have tried various speeds from 10'' to more than a minute for a complete turn, IMO a time of around 30'' - 45'' with stops in various positions is the ideal performance.
What is your opinion ?
Next to Haunted Key tasks :
- Age it (just finished a jar of pickled cucumbers , I will add some more vinegar ,water and salt then I will leave it for a week and then bury it)
- Find a nice antique wooden case for it
My only concern is if the ageing of the key disturbes the "nature" of the key and it's performance (that's as much as I can say without exposure) ?
