Non Leather Repair #10 (Clock battery replacement)

One of the portable clock was not working because the battery is flat. The odd size battery spare was not available.
Use this simple method to overcome replacement.

Confirm the size "C" battery is flat with analog meter

I use a AA size battery but wrap with paper to minimize movement.

Check new battery before replace in clock battery compartment

Verify it work before return to orginal location

Measure Battery diameter

Key Chain #04 (Multiple purpose)

Since my current chain only have key and access tag, then a bright idea was to have key chain with special location for key access tag and slot for highway toll card and home barrier gate access card.
Added a "D" ring ( unfortunately in wrong position as it obstruct the key position, second version is in the pipe line for improvement), Another changes is the size of the key chain for optimize and improvement for access key tag does not slip off when in use.

Feature with 1) two button position for closure for more keys. 2) Allow two credit card slot

The first version on key chain.
