Default jail key model

Need help in modeling an old key used to open dungeon jail cells from the ancient period. You know the one, has a ring on one end and two thingabobs at the other end that goes into the lock. Anyone have an idea where I can get a mesh or tut on this?

Break the key down into primative shapes.

The ring at the top is a torrid. The "thingabobs" are box-like. The shaft is a cylinder.

I'd suggest starting with a cylinder.

Make a couple knife cuts and extrude a box-like shape for the pins.

Make a torrid and connect it to the cylinder.

Subpatch it and bandsaw the edges to sharpen it up.

Give me your email address if you don't quite understand. I'll send you a real quick model so you can check it out.
