Really nice work.

 The only way I can think of to improve this is to paint the cable and/or knot string around it (like when you do hair-wraps) to cover up the stark whiteness of the clearly industrial cable. Then it would be perfect!

do a paracord/springpole knottage on it

Antique cloth lamp cord would do the trick and it readily available at Ace hardware.

 patterned round boot laces or wire braid over the cable.

Amazing idea and terrific craftsmanship.  Cyanoacrylate has lousy sheer strength. I am wondering how long it took to break off the first key? Has it held up under continuous use? Thanks!

Do you watch the show Warehouse 13 on the SciFi Channel? I think your timing is perfect if this show takes off. It's Fantastic, that all I have to say!

He's had this posted for almost a year now. Though I agree, it's pretty awesome to see basically the same concept publicly displayed. Not a bad show either.

Looks like it was worth the effort, 250 is a nice tidy profit.
