DIY Arthritis Car Key Turning Handle

Описание: I helped make a custom car key handle for an elderly customer who has severe hand rheumatoid arthritis. She was no longer able to turn her key with her arthritic hand in order to start her car with the standard valet car key.

Here are the Materials I used and needed to make Hand Arthritis wood key handle:

1) 8 inch Standard Canvas Master's Touch Stretcher Strip - Bought at my local hobbylobby.com Shop for $0.99 cents Link: http://www.hobbylobby.com/Art-Supplie...
2) Fix it Wrap- I bought it online at Orthotape.com or check with your local Home Depot Store. $15.98 was the online price (Make sure you use gloves when you get this product wet and please follow product instructions inside the box). Dries and hardens within a few minutes after you soak it under water and wring it out.
3) Desirable sized screw, two washers, and a Nut To Hold Down Key on crafted wood handle after you drill a hole in the area where the key head is.
4) Epoxy or 3M Urethane Glue To Keep Key Head Stationary on Key Handle. Use gloves with this product as well. Dries in a few minutes.

Tools needed:

1) Latex Gloves to handle fix it wrap and epoxy glue
2) Wood files- to file down wood handle
3) Saw- any small blade saw will do. Does not have to be what we used on video
4) Screw driver or chisels to cut key insert area to down proper and tight size
5) Scissors to cut fix it wrap. We bought the four inch tape and cut it in half. We did not need to use the entire roll.
6) Water for fix it wrap
7) Hand tools needed to tighten screw hardware on wood handle
