Grace’s 8th birthday party was an escape room in our house that my wife Molly created for the kids in her class. As party favors, I created steel locks and keys that the kids could decorate and then hang as Christmas ornaments a few weeks later.
I cut the keys and locks on the plasma cutter at Molten Metal Works and then ground them all smooth.
